Yeodong Yun

Espresso Cup

A petit Espresso Cup by Yeodong Yun, formed in silver-plated copper. Part of an ongoing series exploring the texture of metal, the surface is hand-hammered, giving the piece a tactile, irregular character. A weighted sphere at the base of the handle stabilises the form, while two smaller spheres at the top introduce both structure and detail.

Maker

Seoul-based artist Yeodong Yun works with metal in its full spectrum: shaped, brushed, coloured, and reconfigured into forms that move between sculpture, object, and installation. At the core of her practice is Jung Jung Dong (靜中動), a phrase she uses to describe her work: stillness that contains movement. Objects that appear stationary retain a subtle vibration, as if resonant with the passage of time.
