In Ho Song
Song’s work expresses imaginary animals.
First, he moulds rough shapes of various animals using handbuilding techniques.
And then, he draws imaginary animals on them, just like drawing on a canvas.
This work’s motif is a Korean traditional funerary figure, Kkokdu.
Kkokdu is a witty human-shaped wooden figure, which is known as to take a role in sharing the happiness with the passed ones and relieving their sorrows, coming and going between this world and the next world.
Song reconstituted the Kkokdu with imaginary animals instead of human characters.
