About the Work

Hyejeong Ko is an accomplished metal sculptor whose practice transforms industrial materials into intricate forms inspired by natural phenomena and Korean landscapes. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Jewellery Design from Kyonggi University (1999) and a Master’s in Metal and Jewellery Design from the School for American Crafts at the Rochester Institute of Technology (2003).

Her formative years on Jeju Island established the foundation for her distinctive approach to metalworking, which employs techniques including micro-welding and precision fabrication to translate organic observations into sculptural works.

Ko’s metal sculptures have been showcased in numerous solo and group exhibitions across Korea and internationally, with her work residing in collections at institutions including the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Korea, Leomina in New York, and galleries across Europe and Asia.

Ko contributes to contemporary discourse surrounding the intersection of traditional Korean craft methodologies with current sculptural practice.
