Community Landscape and Artist Workspace as One
...Space-time is transformed; shape and waves in everyday places.  Aka:  Big. Permanent. Outdoor. Sculpture.
Not just big, but varied largeness. Big is relative. So is permanent. ​Nothing is permanent, except permanent marker. Actually that is not true if one works at Sharpie Co. Then it is very true, unless one is permanently terminated. A termite. Small enough to ascend outdoor sculpture on the scale of skyscrapers; permanent markers, small by comparison. Cap on or off.

​Heon Woo Nam "HuNoo" from Seoul, South Korea, is an MFA student at LIU Post, with an undergraduate art degree from University of Seoul. HuNoo develops his theme "The Artificial Myth" using traditional sculpture methods while incorporating plastic vinyl typically covering a welded structure. Plastic vinyl is a non-decomposing material which represents "the eternal life" in harmony with the artificial myth ideas. HuNoo also explores the world of the imagination in his ongoing series of work "The Eye" with elements of the The Eye featured in both draft submissions.
