“I have a passion for sculpture
but I’m good at drawing.
However, I always want to be a painter,
but my work usually ends up with installation art.”

Originally from Korea, emerging artist Kwony has travelled and studied in 35 countries before settling in Hobart for her arts practice.

Kwony’s early work predominately focused on drawing and painting but later moved into abstract works and installation art using non-traditional artists mediums like pulped paper, wood and light.

She has a deep rapport with the textures, patterns and forms found in the built and landscape while firmly connected through the plants, which are in turn the physical matter of her art.
