Porcelain Vase, Handmade Sculptural Takeout Containers

About the Item

"Cairn Vase (large)", is a one-of-a-kind vase by Yoonmi Nam.. This piece is handcrafted by the artist in the United States with porcelain and hand-painted with clear glaze. This piece measures 10.5” x 4.5” x 4.75”. "I am drawn to man-made spaces and objects that we surround ourselves with, especially when they subtly suggest a contradicting sense of time that seems both temporary and lasting. The containers that hold the flowers are modeled after disposable objects in porcelain, such as a yogurt cup, a Styrofoam take-out box, and an instant noodle bowl. These throwaway objects and cut flowers engage in a dialogue that speaks about impermanence and persistence." –Yoonmi Nam Yoonmi Nam’s work considers cross-cultural experience and sense of transience through observations of everyday objects and occurrences. In her prints, drawings, sculptural works, and installations, she uses familiar disposable objects and cut flower arrangements as subject matter and explores their materiality, ephemerality, persistence, and the common and extraordinary way we structure our surroundings. Born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, Yoonmi received a B.F.A. degree in Printmaking from Hong-Ik University in Seoul, Korea. She moved to the U.S. to study at the Rhode Island School of Design, where she received an M.F.A. degree in Painting/Printmaking in 2000. Currently, she teaches at the University of Kansas, where she has been a faculty member since 2001.

    "Cairn Vase (small)", is a one-of-a-kind piece as part of Yoonmi Nam's recent collection. This piece is handcrafted by the artist in the United States with porcelain and hand-painted with clear glaze. This piece measures 6.75”h x 4.5”w x 4.75”d.

"I am drawn to man-made spaces and objects that we surround ourselves with, especially when they subtly suggest a contradicting sense of time that seems both temporary and lasting. In the arranged flower imagery, the flowers, once cut from their roots, have only a short remaining time to live. They will quickly wither and die, but before they do, they are elegantly and elaborately arranged, as if time will stand still for them. The containers that hold them are disposable objects, such as a yogurt cup, a Styrofoam take-out box, and an instant noodle bowl...
