Koo Bona : Stones, walls, etc. used for my works play an important role in enriching my experiences through i) numerous marks and forms thereon and ii) the interaction with time and space passing around them, not to the mention the formative features of those stones and walls. Stones are not dead any more. They are alive and they lead us to the direct intuition on one's entities, as is the case of the religious medication facing the wall. In other words, the physical objects such as stones and walls provide an organic unlimited space where the empathy between those objects and me is developed. I've tried to make some efforts to express both simple and complex words that they have said to me through my paintings. My works have focused on expressing the source and cycle of eternal life; hopefully any and all cyclic objects will remain semitransparent or unknown to me and other spectators.
