Instagram: @seulpaper__ 1. What's your story? Where are you from?Hello, my name is Seul Gi Oh and I'm a paper art creator in Korea. I was born in Korea and I still live there. Since I was a child, I loved making art using paper, like origami or collage. When I quit my first job, I was looking for a hobby and I found paper art. Now, besides enjoying it as a hobby, I work as a paper creator. Most Korean paper flower artists make paper flowers out crepe paper. So I started making paper flowers out of cardstock paper and people thought it was special. Currently, I am trying various paper art works other than paper flower like layering, sculpture, etc. ์๋ ํ์ธ์, ์ ๋ ํ๊ตญ์์ ํ์ดํผํฌ๋ฆฌ์์ดํฐ๋ก ํ๋ํ๊ณ ์๋ ์ค ์ฌ๊ธฐ ๋ผ๊ณ ํฉ๋๋ค. ์ ๋ ํ๊ตญ์์ ํ์ด๋ฌ๊ณ ์ง๊ธ๊น์ง ํ๊ตญ์ ์ด๊ณ ์์ด์. ์ ๋ ์ด๋ ธ์ ์ ๋ถํฐ, ์ข ์ด๋ก ๋ญ๊ฐ ๋ง๋๋ ๊ฑธ ์ข์ํ์ด์. ์ข ์ด์ ๊ธฐ๋ ์ฝ๋ผ์ฃผ ๊ฐ์ ๊ฒ๋ค์ด์. ์ ์ฒซ ๋ฒ์งธ ์ง์ฅ์ ๊ทธ๋ง๋๊ณ ์ ์ฌ๋ ๋์ ํ ์ ์๋ ์ทจ๋ฏธ๊ฐ ์์๊น ์ฐพ์๋ณด๋ค๊ฐ ํ์ดํผ ์ํธ๋ฅผ ์๊ฒ ๋์์ด์. ํ์ฌ๋ ์ทจ๋ฏธ๋ก ์ฆ๊ธฐ๋ ํ์ดํผ์ํธ๋ฅผ ์ ์ ์ผ๋ก ํ๋ ํฌ๋ฆฌ์์ดํฐ๊ฐ ๋์์ต๋๋ค. ํ์ฌ ํ๊ตญ์์ ๋ง๋ค์ด์ง๋ ๋๋ถ๋ถ์ ์ข ์ด๊ฝ๋ค์ ์ฃผ๋ฆ์ง(crepe paper)๋ก ๋ง๋ค์ด์ง๋ ๊ฝ๋ค์ธ๋ฐ์. ์์ง(cardstock paper)์ ๋ ๋ง์ ๋งค๋ ฅ์ ๋๊ผ๋ ์ ๋, ์์ง๋ก ์ข ์ด๊ฝ์ ๋ง๋ค๊ธฐ ์์ํ๋๋ฐ ๋ง์ ๋ถ๋ค์ด ๊ทธ๊ฑธ ํน๋ณํ๊ฒ ๋ด์ฃผ์ จ๋ ๊ฒ ๊ฐ์์. ํ์ฌ๋ ํ์ดํผํ๋ผ์ ์ด์ธ์๋ ๋ ์ด์ด๋ง์ด๋, 3D ํํ์ ํ์ดํผ์ํธ ์์ ๋ค๋ก๋ ๋ฒ์๋ฅผ ๋ํ๊ฐ๋ ์ค์ ๋๋ค. ![]() 2. Tell us about your aesthetic.I try to make paper flowers as realistic as possible. I feel that making realistic paper flowers out of cardstock paper is more difficult than crepe paper. So I am trying to make flowers as realistic as possible using various techniques. In fact, I have been working as a paper creator for about a year and Iโm not sure if I have a specific aesthetic yet. So, I try to do many things as possible. The most important part of my work is the color schemes as I think color is one of the tools that best represents me. I wanted someone to be able to see my work and go โOh I know, Seul made that!โ. ํ์ดํผํ๋ผ์์ ๊ฒฝ์ฐ, ์ต๋ํ ์ฌ์ค์ ์ผ๋ก ๋ง๋ค๊ธฐ ์ํด ๋ ธ๋ ฅํ๊ณ ์์ด์. ๊ฐ์ธ์ ์ผ๋ก ์ฃผ๋ฆ์ง์ ๋นํด ์์ง๊ฐ ์ฌ์ค์ ์ธ ๊ฝ์ ๋ง๋ค๊ธฐ๊ฐ ๋ ์ด๋ ต๋ค๊ณ ๋๊ปด์ง๋๋ฐ์. ๊ทธ๋ ๊ธฐ ๋๋ฌธ์ ๋ค์ํ ๊ธฐ๋ฒ์ ํตํด ์ต๋ํ ์ฌ์ค์ ์ธ ๊ฝ์ ๋ง๋ค๊ธฐ ์ํด ๋ ธ๋ ฅํ๊ณ ์์ต๋๋ค. ์ฌ์ค ์ ๋ ํฌ๋ฆฌ์์ดํฐ๋ก์ ์์ ์ ์์ํ์ง ์ฝ 1๋ ์ ๋ ๋ฐ์ ๋์ง ์์๊ธฐ ๋๋ฌธ์, ์ ๋ฏธํ์ด ์ด๋ค ๊ฒ์ธ์ง ํ์คํ ๋ชจ๋ฅด๊ฒ ์ด์. ๊ทธ๋์ ์ต๋ํ ๋ง์ ์๋๋ฅผ ํด๋ณด๊ธฐ ์ํด ๋ ธ๋ ฅํ๊ณ ์์ต๋๋ค. ์ ์์ ์์ ๊ฐ์ฅ ์ค์ํ๊ฒ ์๊ฐํ๋ ๋ถ๋ถ ์ค ํ๋๋ โ๋ฐฐ์โ์ธ๋ฐ์. ์๋ํ๋ฉด ์์ ์ ๋ฅผ ๊ฐ์ฅ ์ ๋ํ๋ด์ฃผ๋ ๋๊ตฌ ์ค ํ๋๋ผ๊ณ ์๊ฐํ๊ธฐ ๋๋ฌธ์ด์์. ์ ๋ ๋ค๋ฅธ ์ฌ๋๋ค์ด ์ ์์ ์ ๋ดค์ ๋, โ์ค ์ ๊ฑฐ ์ฌ๊ธฐ๊ฐ ๋ง๋ค์์ด!โ๋ผ๊ณ ์์๋ด์ฃผ๋ฉด ์ข๊ฒ ์ต๋๋ค. 3. What is your favourite medium and why?It is paper, without saying. Paper is a medium with endless possibilities! You can fold it, tear it, cut it, crumple it, crease it, You can work with many techniques and also, it is one of the cheaper mediums around. Even if you fail, you can take up the challenge to try again without much burden. Finally, the color and texture are so varied that you can try many things. ๋ ๋ง ํ ๊ฒ ์์ด ์ข ์ด์ ๋๋ค. ์ข ์ด๋ ์ ๋ง ๊ฐ๋ฅ์ฑ์ด ๋ง์ ์ฌ๋ฃ์์! ์ ๊ณ , ์ฐข๊ณ , ๊ตฌ๊ธฐ๊ณ , ์ฃผ๋ฆ์ ์ฃผ๋ ๋ฑ. ๋ง์ ๊ธฐ๋ฒ์ ํ์ฉํด ์์ ์ ํ ์ ์์ด์. ๋ํ ๊ฐ์ฅ ์ ๋ ดํ ์ฌ๋ฃ๋ค ์ค ํ๋์์. ๋ง์ฝ ์์ ์ ํ๋ค ์คํจํ๋๋ผ๋ ์๋กญ๊ฒ ๋์ ํ๋๋ฐ ๋ถ๋ด์ด ์์ด์. ๋ง์ง๋ง์ผ๋ก ์ปฌ๋ฌ๋ ์ง๊ฐ์ด ์ ๋ง ๋ค์ํด์, ๋ง์ ๊ฒ์ ์๋ํด ๋ณผ ์ ์๋ต๋๋ค. 4. What is your artistic process like?I always carry a notebook around and write it down an idea whenever I have one. Therefore, my notebook is full of many things I want to make! I also take and collect a lot of photos with my phone. When I work, my notebook and phone are always next to me. Instead of a sketching or drawing process, I look at pictures, conceive it in my head, and create them by hand. ์ ๋ ํญ์ ๋ ธํธ๋ฅผ ๊ฐ์ง๊ณ ๋ค๋๋ฉด์ ์์ด๋์ด๊ฐ ์๊ฐ ๋ ๋ ๋ง๋ค ์ ์ต๋๋ค. ๊ทธ๋์ ์ ๋ ธํธ์์๋ ์ ๊ฐ ๋ง๋ค๊ณ ์ถ์ ๊ฒ๋ค๋ก ๊ฐ๋์ฐจ ์์ด์. ๋ ํธ๋ํฐ์ผ๋ก ์ฌ์ง์ ์ฐ๊ณ ์์งํฉ๋๋ค. ๊ทธ๋์ ์์ ์ ์์ํ ๋๋ ๋ ๋ ธํธ์ ํธ๋ํฐ์ด ์์ ์์ด์. ์ค์ผ์น๋ ๋๋ก์ ๊ณผ์ ๋์ ์ฌ์ง์ ๋ณด๋ฉฐ ๋จธ๋ฆฟ์์ผ๋ก ๊ตฌ์ํ๊ณ , ์์ผ๋ก ๋ง๋ค์ด ๋ ๋๋ค. 5.

How does it change the way you view the world?Art is a world I have longed for and wanted to challenge someday ever since I was young. I got a chance to live a world when I meet paper art. I am very happy to meet a genre that can allow me to express myself. So I constantly think about how to make it wherever I go and what I do. ์์ ์ ์ด๋ฆด ์ ๋ถํฐ ๋ ๋๊ฒฝํ๋ ์ธ์์ด์๊ณ , ์ธ์ ๊ฐ ํ ๋ฒ์ฏค ๋์ ํ๊ณ ์ถ์ ์ผ์ด์์ด์. ํ์ดํผ์ํธ๋ฅผ ๋ง๋ ๋๊ฒฝํ๋ ์ธ์์ ์ด์๋ณผ ์ ์๋ ๊ธฐํ๊ฐ ์ฃผ์ด์ก์ด์. ์ ๋ฅผ ํํํ ์ ์๋ ์ฅ๋ฅด๋ฅผ ๋ง๋๊ฒ ๋์ด ๋ฌด์ฒ ๊ธฐ๋ป์. ๋๋ถ์ ์ด๋๊ฐ๋ , ๋ฌด์์ ํ๋ ์ด๋ป๊ฒ ๋ง๋ค์ด ๋ณผ ์ ์์์ง ๋์์์ด ๊ณ ๋ฏผํ๊ฒ ๋์ง๋ง. ![]() 7. Where did you study?I studied English Literature in Korea. I did not study any fine arts or design. So I search for books or web on things I am curious about while working. How fortunate am I to live in a world where I can easily get to know everything I am curious about! But if there's a chance, I want to study ART & Design in NY or Sweden. ์ ๋ ํ๊ตญ์์ ์์ด์๋ฌธํ์ ๊ณต๋ถํ๊ณ ์์์์ ์ด๋ ๋์์ธ์ ๋ํด์๋ ๊ณต๋ถํ ์ ์ด ์์ด์. ๊ทธ๋์ ์์ ์ ํ๋ค ๊ถ๊ธํ ๋ถ๋ถ์ด ์๊ธฐ๋ฉด ์ฑ ์ ์ฐพ์๋ณด๊ฑฐ๋ ์ธํฐ๋ท์์ ์์น๋ฅผ ํฉ๋๋ค. ๊ถ๊ธํ ๋ชจ๋ ๊ฒ์ ์ฝ๊ฒ ์ป์ ์ ์๋ ์ธ์์ ์ด๊ณ ์์ด์ ์ผ๋ง๋ ๋คํ์ธ์ง ๋ชฐ๋ผ์! ํ์ง๋ง, ๋ง์ฝ ๊ธฐํ๊ฐ ๋๋ค๋ฉด ๋ด์์ด๋ ์ค์จ๋ด ๊ฐ์ ๊ณณ์์ ์์ ๊ณต๋ถ๋ฅผ ํ๊ณ ์ถ์ต๋๋ค. 8. Where do you see yourself in five years?First of all, as a paper creator, I hope to grow myself and my work. And I would like to teach someone who wants to learn about paper art. If I can, it would be nice to have various exhibitions and installations with these people I taught. I want to introduce my work like posters, stop motion, stationeries, etc. And I also want to do work that contains stories of many brands. ์ฐ์ , ์ ์์ ๊ณผ ์ ๊ฐ ์ํฐ์คํธ๋ก์ ๋ง์ด ์ฑ์ฅํด ์์์ผ๋ฉด ์ข๊ฒ ์ด์. ํ์ดํผ์ํธ๋ฅผ ๋ฐฐ์ฐ๊ณ ์ถ์ดํ๋ ์ฌ๋์๊ฒ ๊ฐ๋ฅด์ณ์ฃผ๋ ์ฌ๋์ด ๋๊ณ ์ถ๊ธฐ๋ ํด์. ํ ์ ์๋ค๋ฉด ์ ๊ฐ ๊ฐ๋ฅด์น ์ฌ๋๋ค๊ณผ ๋ค์ํ ์ ์๋ ์ค์น์์ ์ ํ๊ณ ์์ด๋ ์ข์ ๊ฒ ๊ฐ๊ณ ์. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ ์ ์์ ์ ํฌ์คํฐ, ์คํฑ๋ชจ์ , ๋ฌธ๊ตฌ์ ํ๋ค ๋ฑ์ ํตํด ์๊ฐํ๊ณ ์ถ์ด์. ๋ง์ ๋ธ๋๋๋ค์ ์ด์ผ๊ธฐ๋ฅผ ๋ด์ ์์ ๋ ํ๊ณ ์ถ๊ณ ์. 9.

What do you hope to achieve with your art?If my work can inspire someone, I don't think there is anything better than that. I want to leave a lot of warm works and hope people feel the courage and love through my works.
