Visit Stamp Gallery at Stamp Student Union for the opening reception of Unspoken Volumes, a solo exhibition by New York-based artist Hae Won Sohn.

Unspoken Volumes brings together a new body of work including sculpture and digital media described collectively by the artist as “an attempt to allow the unspoken forms speak their volume by magnifying boundaries, outlining blurs and tracing gray areas that form between.” Although Sohn works with tangibly defined materials including cast plaster and clay, blurriness becomes both a physical and metaphorical quality of her work as she explores and adjusts distances—between material and form; subject and object—through and throughout time.

Hae Won Sohn (b.1992) is an artist working primarily with plaster and unfired clay. Trained in ceramics, Sohn thinks and makes through molding, casting, and various hand-involved processes. Her studio practice has more recently expanded to include paper, aluminum, tape, digital images/prints, and drawings as new materials for her visual and tactile explorations.

Stamp Gallery is dedicated to the exhibition of contemporary art with an emphasis on the work of emerging and mid-career artists. The gallery supports contemporary art that is challenging and/or academically engaging and that addresses broad community and social issues. Through meaningful exhibitions and programming the gallery offers an outside-of-the-classroom experiential learning opportunity.
