Megan Mizuta shows the branch she helped construct which includes a branch from a tree she planted several years ago. The constructed branch will be incorporated into MING Studios artist-in-residence Han Seok Hyun large scale, permanent sculpture, entitled Reverse-Rebirth at Idaho Botanical Garden on July 21, 2018 in Boise, Idaho.
Han Seok Hyun connected with the Boise community through gathering furniture and cast off wood pieces, seeds and plants, which will be used to build up his sculpture.
The work of Korean artist Han Seok Hyun addresses the dichotomy of ''artificial nature,'' calling attention to man’s handling of the natural world observable in contemporary urban environments. In Reverse-Rebirth, Han takes nature into his own hands. Reclaimed wood, discarded furniture, native plants, and locally foraged seeds compose the monumental tree-like sculpture that continuously evolves over time and throughout the seasons. The work reaches for a symbiosis with the given environment, while Han pushes the boundaries of a domesticated relationship with Mother Nature.
