Joon-Hee Park

Sweet Dreams
Opening Tuesday 12 February 5.30-7.30pm
12 February – 2 March 2019

Joon-Hee Park is a self-confessed, constant day dreamer. She often revisits her memories and dreams to replay, recreate and re-craft them. Being a painter, she loves to ‘see’ her imagination come alive on the canvas.

Sweet Dreams is another adventure with her little toy friends, this time, up in the clouds. Park has developed her obsession with clouds from photography to painting. After seeing a spectacular cloud that reminded her of fluffy vanilla whipped cream and lavender meringues she imagined a fantastical world of escapism with bunnies jumping about pooping jelly beans. Park relished in painting clouds; crafting, altering and creating unique clouds. Her cloud scenes enjoy total weightlessness, flying ability, and masses of tasty sweets. Her perfect world.

She wants viewers to be drawn into a whimsical dream world and encouraged to dream their own sweet dreams.
