FEATURE ARTIST - Sunggee Min, Melbourne, Australia.

Sunday Afternoon,925 Silver, Corian, Hobby moss, Silk Thread

Min’s work relates to his earlier studies in Philosophy and Literature as well as to the 
different religions that he has tried to understand and question.
 His creative motivation began with an exploration of relationships in everyday life.
Min likes to see the contrast, harmony and emotions through these relationships and the way that the results are not always what we expect.

“ Taking photos, getting wild flowers from country, collecting old coins or stamps. Are these our nature to memorise or to have? There is no separate line between before and after because we are living in the world that moves continuously. We tend to memorise or capture the moment especially when we know it won’t last forever, either moments of scenery or objects.

As a jeweller, I capture my moment, which I found so special for me and then I create wearable pieces using my moment of memories or objects that I collected.”
