I am a carpenter. Rather than drawing a boundary between craft and art, I work in the space in between, handling wood. Wood becomes furniture, objects, or a canvas. What remains returns as finish and color, forming another work.

Made to order.
Due to the natural characteristics of solid wood, grain patterns and live edges will vary.
Although circular in form, the stool retains its live edge and reveals the natural expansion and contraction of the wood.
It is not a perfect circle, but a living one.
The wide seat is open enough to accommodate several people,
and the overlapping three-leg structures—forming six points of support—create a heightened sense of stability.
Placed within an open space, it allows seating and viewing from all 360 degrees.
The Sheltering Stool is positioned at the center of a space,
designed to become a place to lean for some,
and a place to empty one’s thoughts for others.

Production Technique: The surface is finished with traditional Korean ink and oil.
This piece draws from the Korean character “ㅇ.”
Phonetically associated with the sound “o,” its circular form became the foundation of the work.
From this linguistic shape, a sculptural and stable structure was developed—
transforming a letter into a physical presence.
