Artist

Jiwon YANG

Yang Jiwon’s practice is based on the act of drawing. Through performing familiar actions of drawing and writing, Yang takes interest in the forms of letters. The artist then morphs the form and linguistic elements of those letters and explores the various contexts surrounding the new image derived from the process.
