JAE JUN LEE OPEN HOUSE GROUP SHOW October 2019 - January 2020 Lane House, Biddestone, Wiltshire
10 years ago, I started throwing at University, and now I have become a person who makes a living with bowls. Sometimes I feel that I am quite used to it, but sometimes I still feel like a beginner. As I work everyday, I realise that I need much longer time and much more effort to be skilled. In the way I work, it is very important to have skilled techniques as my aim is to make good quality things.
There are so many products in the world. So many things are spread in front of us which we do not know where they came from or how they were made. We use some goods because of their cheap prices, and sometimes we are tempted by certain goods because of their high costs. However, we do not know goods themselves well. All the things that have been produced have their own proper values, and maker’s motives of making them. We are no longer interested in any of these backgrounds because of mechanised systems.
Now, I would like to ask you to have more active and keen interest in things. Everything has its own value, and maker’s care and the value of labour. I work every day for value of my labour, and I want to communicate with people through what I made. I hope that people use things in their lives, and make a deep connection through using it, and grow their lives with that affection.
I try my best to enrich our lives as a member of this world, and I hope that this society needs more craftsman who might be working even now to do a role as a part of this world.
