emerging artist: Grace Han

 


Two Paths, Two Identities, One Individual explores
Grace Han being somewhere in between as an artist. Although she was
traditionally trained in Korea – where preserving the traditions of
Korean ceramics was essential – she finds that she can be free and truly
herself as an individual artist in her new home in Canada. Speaking two
distinct languages has also broadened her views in art – she finds that
the process is an important part of her work. By entering into the
space that Grace Han creates, the audience can experience her struggles,
interact with her work where her emotions have been captured, and see
what she truly is in between.

academia. She immigrated to Canada in 2011 and is pursuing her career as
a ceramic artist in her new home.
