Such as scrap iron plate and old tree, Hee Jo Nam has used various materials and added the new meanings to them. She tries to find historical background and stories the materials have, and combince with her pictorial and artistic reasons. Her semiabstract artworks are expected to suggest another new opportunity to the art market in Korea.
