I tend to forget dreams as soon as I wake up but somehow feel them under the

skin, 2021, drawing, 2m x 210cm, crayons on canvas

 

Have you ever woken up in the morning only to feel like you’ve lost something extremely important?

Or have you forgotten the message I sent to myself from the future and accidentally found a slight clue of the message while walking down the street?

 

The process of drawing is similar to the process of remembering the dream I had the previous night. Some dreams are something I’ve never seen in my life. Although there is no substance, I remember the feeling which stays with me for a long time and I attach a shape and story to it. My works deal with the process of capturing and reproducing unconscious potential situations or mental states such as unconsciousness, identity and vitality.

 

”I tend to forget dreams as soon as I wake up but somehow feel them under the skin “is a drawing by Jung A Lee. Using crayons to draw it makes it easy to capture the momentary feeling because it can be drawn anywhere without having to dry or clean brushes. What matters to her as pictorial elements are color and curve. The colors she uses don’t have meaning in themselves. However, various attributes of color, such as contrast and bright and dark colors are arranged to express dynamism.
