Kyung-Ok Choi

Kyung-Ok Choi is a glass artist that creates delicate forms in her work. She is interested in portraying the human experience with the use of organic forms. She focuses on communicating the graceful flow of our emotional tendencies in her sculptural forms. She creates these narratives of human success and failure in the pursuit of personal ambition and experience as the subject in her work. She depicts this by the use of ladder in her work and by the use of clear glass. The glass, I believe, gives us the feeling that things are not ways clear in life, that we have to keep trying even though the path to our dream will not appear in front of us, and that we have to climb to work for it. Choi blends her Korean heritage into her work. She works in her personal philosophy and experience. She uses clear flame work glass to portray this image. While working her sculptures she utilizes form and its surrounding atmosphere.
