Ceramic artist Yon Ho-kyung resides in Icheon, the small village in South Korea home to hundreds of pottery kilns and an even higher number of exquisitely crafted designs. Her mode of communication is buncheong, a form of stoneware recognised for its distinctive white slip coatings and bluish-green tone. Through this traditional practice, she’ll take a playful doodle from workaday to work of art, honing in on the quiet moments of daily life like an apple core or an amass of fallen petals. To reach her signature texture, she layers engobe soil atop buncheong, while her go-to color palette of blue and white is inspired by traditional porcelain.
