The Brooklyn-based ceramic artist Eun-Ha Paek’s pieces are defined by their renegade spirit. Living everywhere from New York to California, they make experimental sculptures that reflect the traditions and aesthetics of both cultures. In Korean, for example, instead of saying, ‘The soup is boiling,’ you would say the sound the soup makes when it boils. That extraness and whimsy is what I’m hoping to express.”That’s also true for the Manhattan-based ceramic artist Janny Baek, 50, who was born in Seoul and moved to Flushing, Queens, when she was 3. I felt like I needed to do something more than be an artist,” Baek says.
