Wonmin Park’s Stone&Steel series reconciles the contrasting natures of primordial volcanic rock and modern industrial steel.
The steel plate of this low table is fitted around the cut stone with machine precision, epitomising the control of human manufacturing processes. Wonmin is intrigued however that each unique stone is the product of a geological accident millennia ago, created deep in the crust of the Earth. He brings this internal history the artwork, as evidence of forms and processes greater than himself and his art.
