Bio

Jungeun Park (b. 1999) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Queens, New York. Using glass, ceramic, and soft materials, she creates objects that highlight the value of overlooked moments in everyday life. They include discarded bodily ‘things’, constant death and birth that happen around us, and the grey zone where disgust and intimacy coexist.

She earned her BFA in Visual Arts from the Korea National University of Arts, studied at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, and completed her MFA in Glass at the Rhode Island School of Design.



Artist Statement

I always end up finding the scary and unsettling moments of everyday life: blood clots in cracked eggs, a dead rat at my doorstep, and mites crawling on our skin… These quiet tragedies persist in our lives with an almost brutal indifference!
We eat, digest, and excrete. We menstruate, parasitize, and coexist.

Through my creations, I lend voices to the most overlooked, revealing what lies within the mundane experiences.
Once made into glass and ceramic, the disgust transforms into a clean mock-up. It may(or will) still look gross, but now it can be held in hand and observed. In this zone of safety, abject and beauty interwine. The unrest softens into tenderness and becomes a tamed repulsion. It is what we are conditioned to reject, yet what makes us so human.

To be is to be overwhelmed.
It’s so hard to maintain a living body!

Stroll (2017~)


For 8 years, I’ve been taking pictures with my phone every time I take a walk outside, or whenever I find intriguing scenery & objects.
Finding beauties from the anarchy of the city has become my habit ever since.
Now, I have collected photos from all around the world. This collection includes photos from
Seoul, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag, Providence, and New York City.

Enjoy the walk!
