The works of Lee Ok-nam is an accumulation of time as newspaper is cut into strips of a certain width and the strips are overlap-connected together end and end and rolled to make the thickness of a certain diameter. So it records our journey. The accumulation of time and the record of our acts make the track of a certain state of the newspaper and the disc of waves. Non-traditional way of making waves in mechanical repetition, maximum restrained sensitivity, and in minimal expression is in contrast to traditional drawing in which our sensitivity is amplified and expressed with brush and paint and canvas. But the homogeneity of the outcome of her work does not remain insensible. But rather in irony, it makes an image that invokes considerable sensitivity. The feeling of waves and circles is meditative and reflective as if it were an indication of the abyss of human beings.
