Jeffery Sun Young Park (b. 1987, Los Angeles, CA), a first-generation queer Corean based in Los Angeles, brings a unique perspective to his art practice, informed by his background as a licensed marriage and family therapist championing inclusivity and self-care within BIPOC, queer, and gender-nonconforming communities. Through his hand-built stoneware ceramics, meticulously crafted and fired using various techniques, Park invites viewers to explore themes of identity, community, and resilience.

*The spelling of Corea with a C is the original spelling before colonization, which represents the artist’s hope for a unified Corea.
