Bio
Byori Seo (b. 2000, Seoul, SK) is a multi-disciplinary artist from Edmonton, AB, currently based in Toronto, ON.
Her most recent body of work comprises mixed media sculpture (ceramic/jewellery), hand-built ceramic forms, copper-smithed vessels, and art jewellery created through intuitive tactile processes. Sensitive organic forms express a holistic consideration of craft methodologies and objects as sacred meditation and communication.
Considering craft a labour of deep love and care through the act of tending to something over and over again, in sharing her work, she wishes to return all she has received from others, expressing abundant love and gratitude for her world.
