빛의 조형적 효과를 적용한‘부드러운 조각’-본인의 섬유예술작품을 중심으로-

Abstract

As the boundaries between genres are getting blurrier fiber art is trying to combine with different genres and is expanding into the area of soft sculpture. In particular, new mixed media works applying digital art or media art are being attempted according to the development of image technology. Through this, various works that attract viewers with more dynamic effects are emerging from stereotypes of existing genres. The purpose of this study is to present a new direction and possibility of expansion of fiber art in the application of light, a major digital medium, to sculpture, paying attention to recent trends in contemporary art. The research method is as follows. Light has always been an important element in art. Therefore, light has various meanings according to the times and culture and has been applied to art in various ways. In this study, the concept of light and its role in art was first examined, and then the characteristics of light applied to art and its formative effects were examined by classifying works according to their expression types. In addition, the concept and formation process of ‘soft sculpture’, which is the main trend of modern fiber art, were examined in order to study the application methods of various lights, and based on this, precedent cases were analyzed. After that, through the researcher’s experimental work using the combination of soft sculpture and light, the possibility of using light in fiber art and its characteristics as a formative element were considered, and various possibilities and directions of fiber art expression were explored. Based on this, it was considered that soft sculptures applied with the formative effect of light can be useful for color, spatial sense, and texture expression depending on the type of light expression. In addition, by combining the existing installation work of soft sculpture and the space utilizing various types of light into one chapter, the possibility of expanding the expression of fiber art that can lead to a more comprehensive area of art was confirmed.
