How to embody something as formless as water was a task sculptor Jin Won Chung set for himself in his new body of work. Tiny, extruded filaments of white and colored porcelain clays make up each of the 17 sculptures shown. Without recourse to pictorial means such as painting or drawing, the Seoul, Korea-based artist resorted to making doughnut or tadpole shapes suggestive of water droplets. Each work in the show held at the Boso gallery in Seoul, between 2 and 6 inches tall, was individually displayed on its own glass shelf jutting out from the wall.
