FOREWORD

In 2019, Llantarnam Grange exhibited the results of Jin Eui Kim’s project which explored the creation of tonal clays. That exhibition shared the experience of the investigative process with videos, meticulous notes, photographs and samples.

The new techniques he developed had a huge influence on the development of his work which more and more explored how the viewer’s perception of three-dimensional objects can be altered by tonal variations and optical illusions.

Jin Eui’s techniques, tonal arrangements, intuitive use of colour, precision and beauty have distinguished him as a truly unique ceramicist. We have been so pleased to continue to support Jin Eui’s passion and creativity in this beautiful solo exhibition which challenges the eye and our perceptions, creating shifting illusions to engage the mind.
