Yoonjee Kwak makes sculptural vessels to represent human beings as iconic symbols from the Korean
culture. In Korea, when people talk about someone’s personality, they often use “vessel” as a metaphor
of one’s spirit of tolerance. Yoonjee’s interactive conversation with the clay is vital to her process — she
slowly builds up clay coils from the bottom, allowing her hand marks to remain on the surface. Through
this process of building, memories of patience and time come into her pieces and she is able to create a
meaningful record of her practice.
Originally from South Korea, Yoonjee Kwak just finished the two-year long-term artist residency at the
Archie Bray Foundation for Ceramic Arts, Helena MT. Her works has been shown in a variety of national
and international exhibitions including Korea, Turkey, Italy etc. as well as many states in the USA.
Yoonjee earned her MFA in ceramics at the School for American Crafts at Rochester Institute of
Technology (RIT) in 2014 and her BFA in ceramics and glass at Hong-Ik University in Seoul, South Korea.
She was a resident artist and taught ceramics classes at RIT from 2014– 2017. In 2016, she was named an
Emerging Artist in Ceramics Monthly magazine.

Her work references exclusive and precious porcelain wares from 18th-century Europe. In her work she tries to capture the qualities for which porcelain has been known since its discovery in China: whiteness, translucency, and resonance. She is attracted to the enameled and lustered surfaces of the Baroque, Renaissance and Rococo porcelain designs, as well as to elaborations on structural elements of these time periods. She is investigating surface decorations and embellished shapes in order to gain more knowledge for my own studio practice. Sherman is interested in incorporating and referencing historic drawings, motives, and patterns into her work.
Studying the history of ceramics Sherman has been captivated by the relationship between East and West, and how they continue to influence each other, especially through the ceramic arts. Although there might be considerable differences between the two civilizations, the cultural exchange between them is an important connector of history and has produced a long and rich exchange of ideas between artists and makers. Asian craft traditions have been handed down to the West and the handmade aspect, even within the factory setting, is still an important concept that allows for control of design and quality by the artist, which is essential within craft of the West.
