Button Pin Art by Ran Hwang
Ran Hwang is a Korean-born (1960), sculptural artist primarily known for her mixed-media work with buttons, beads, pins, and thread. She describes her approach:
I create large icons such as a Buddha or a traditional vase, using materials from the fashion industry. The process of building large installations is time consuming and repetitive and it requires manual effort which provides a form of self-meditation. I hammer thousands of pins into a wall like a monk who, facing the wall, practices Zen.
Ran combines her creative vision with a meticulous process to transform ordinary objects into whimsical jewel-like creations. via & via
