Yoonjee Kwak is known for coiled porcelain sculptural and utilitarian vessels. Using a minimalist's approach to decorative techniques glazing consists of celadon, Mason stain-based glazes, and minimal gold luster.
Kwak uses the vessel as a means to represent human beings as symbols of Korean culture using minimalism, geometry, and nature. About her work, Kwak states, ?In Korea, when people talk about someone?s personality, we often use ?vessel? as a metaphor for one?s spirit of tolerance. For instance, when we talk about someone who is very generous or broad-minded, we say, ?His vessel is big? and so on.?
