Hye Sea

Social media can be divisive, but it can also bring people together or highlight someone doing something interesting wherever they are in the world. That happened when I came across Hye Sea on Twitter. She was creating artwork using the sun. I had never seen anything like it, and knew immediately I had to learn more about her and her artistic process

What’s your artistic process?

It really depends. It varies day by day and season by season, environment by environment. Let’s say I’m creating a portrait. What I would do is first I would go and match the energy of the portrait with whatever piece of wood I feel best speaks to the spirit of the person that I’m creating the portrait of. Once I have the wood selected, then I’ll sand it and everything, and from there I just take it outside and get to work.
