| Artist Statement: | ARTIST STATEMENT I'm into people. Their faces, movements, behavior, dress codes, and other peculiarities stimulate my curiosity and make me wonder what they've gone through, and I translate this into my language. Children are my favorite people; they are free spirited creatures. Their impulsive emotions and expressions always grab my attention. Their unique imagination flows randomly, everywhere, and sometimes out of control. We don't force children to take responsibility for their obstinate thoughts and behavior, because we understand their spontaneity. I personally think that the generosity applied to children should be equal to artists too. In the process of creation, there has to be a zero gravity moment for artists, so that they can be honest to themselves and their art. Artists should be assured of the right to be spontaneous and random in every moment of creation. BIO Inkyung Choi is an artist living in Winnipeg, Canada.
