“Jongjin Park (South Korea -1982), investigates the remarkable ability of ceramics to deceive the eye. By experimenting with layering paper and porcelain slip, he has created giant millefeuilles which are at once delicate, strong and have an almost wood-like quality. In using fragile paper and ‘hard’ porcelain slip, he’s is able to manipulate the senses and makes you wonder what is real.”

Born in Korea, Jongjin Park received an MA in Ceramics at Cardiff Metropolitan University and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Ceramics at Kookmin University, Seoul. His work has been exhibited at the Santorini Biennale of Arts in Santorini, Greece, R.E.D, Arton gallery in Singapore, the Ceramic Museum in Kor, and the 7th Cheongju International Craft Competition in 2011 for which he was awarded the Gold Prize.
