There is no limit to creativity and innovation.We all know what buttons,threads,pins and beads re usually used for.A common man cannot ever think of other use of these items than to stitch them onto clothes.Ran Hwang is a Korean Artist,who creates buttons,threads,pins and beads in a creative way to create beautiful works of art.
"My immense wall installations are extremely time consuming and repetitive manual work," says Hwang. "This is a form of meditative practice that helps me find my inner peace. Pins are used to hold buttons onto the surface to form a silhouetted image, or to disintegrate such image. No adhesive is used so the buttons are free to stay and move, which implies the genetic human tendency to be irresolute. I use buttons because they are common and ordinary, like the existence of human beings."
"By hammering thousands of pins onto a wall, I discover significance of existence," she adds. "Like the monks practicing Zen facing the wall, my work is a form of performance that leads to finding oneself." Hwang graduated from the School of Visual Arts in NYC and has exhibited her work in New York, Paris and Seoul.
