Unruly Reverence brings together new works from Yehrim Lee’s Kkotsal [꽃살] and Soban [소반] series, where traditional Korean craft forms are reimagined through movement, abundance, and material risk.

In her Kkotsal Moon Flower works, Lee draws inspiration from the floral carvings found on Korean Buddhist temple doors, where patterns are carved from a single slab of mulberry wood. Translating this act of removal into clay, Lee incises, presses, and builds forms that hold an unruly beauty through tension: difficult angles, shifting surfaces, transforming drips, textures, and glaze. 

The Soban Top Table works extend this exploration into sculptural furniture, merging vessel and table, object and offering. Hand-built using traditional Onggi jar-making methods passed down through her family of ceramicists, Lee’s practice honors Korean ceramic history while pushing it toward forms that are at once reverent, unruly, and alive.
