    Kim Hyeonyoung (b. 1995) approaches chance and necessity encountered in life as integral conditions of our existence, and continues her practice with a focus on the layers of emotion that arise from them. In particular, through ceramics, she attends to sensing an order already at work outside of human consciousness, and to the emotions that emerge from the realization that seemingly separate entities are placed under the same underlying principles.
    She explains her works in a sentence below,
    “I wish to give their own volition to clays.”
    In 2021, She completed her studies in the Graduate Program of Ceramics at Seoul National University of Science and Technology,
    having previously earned her Bachelor’s degree at the same institution in 2019.
    She has received an Excellence Award at the International Ceramics Competition Gyeonggi in Korea in 2024,
    as well as at the Mino competition in Japan and the FRANZ Rising Star Project in Taiwan in 2021.
    Since that year, She has participated in several group exhibitions, including Everything is in its Place (2021) at SeMA Storage, Made, Created, Formed(2023),
    Still, a Happy Ending (2024), Art Busan (2024). Additionally, she has held 6 solo exhibitions during this period.

    김현영(b.1995)은 삶에서 마주하는 우연과 필연을 우리 존재 조건의 일부로 바라보며, 그로부터 발생하는 감정의 층위에 관심을 두고 작업을 이어오고 있다.
    특히, 도자를 통해 인간 의식의 바깥에서 이미 작동하고 있는 질서를 감각하고, 분리된 개체들이 동일한 법칙 아래 놓여 있다는 자각에서 비롯되는 감정에 주목한다.

    그녀는 그녀의 작업을 아래의 한 문장으로 설명한다.
    “나는 흙에게도 자유의지를 부여하고자 한다.”
