The Extraordinary Wooden Sanded Sculptures of Cha Jongrye
Cha Jongrye’s work is the process of encountering ‘another I,’ not the familiar self. It is also the process of looking for what the Buddha called the ‘true I,’ as well as the ultimate goal of her art. This self-composed artist flatly refuses to apply any external force on her art, but chooses to understand, Cha Jongrye perceives, and finds herself, by actively moving her body and soul of her own free, voluntary will.   – Tcheon-nahm PARK
