Speaker

Sunkoo Yuh

Sunkoo Yuh is a professor at the University of Georgia, Athens. He earned his MFA at New York State College of Ceramics, Alfred. His work is informed by his personal and intimate experiences in everyday life. Yuh’s ceramic sculpture is composed of tight groupings of various forms including plants, animals, fish, and human figures. While Korean art and religious beliefs inform some aspects of his imagery, his work is largely driven by implied narratives that often suggest socio-political critiques.
