In this work, I focused on the phenomenon of "becoming a painting." I used transfer printing, thinking that a complex image created digitally could be pasted onto the surface of a general wooden panel as a support for painting, and would become a "painting." In addition, I was conscious of the presence of the wooden panel as an object, in contrast to the lightness of the screen of the transferred image, so I filled the wood with putty and sanded it, creating a part that acts as a frame in a sense as part of the work.

About the image The source of the image is a drawing book made using an entire issue of the magazine Vogue. For this drawing book, I used a cutter, glue, masking tape, and acrylic paint, and took advantage of the nature of magazines (that is, when you cut and paste, the action affects another page), which allowed me to easily add other images or modify the original image. I then scanned the image of any double-page spread that I had created by cutting and pasting, and when I looked at it as a single image (digital image), I deleted unnecessary text information from the magazine, unnecessary shine and distortions from the magazine, and also filled in any missing parts during correction, creating a single "picture." The transferred image in this work is that single "picture" and data.

Why do we do complex things? By doing complex things, we can see how the properties of things are balanced, how they give an impression, and how they break (or change into something else). We can also see or find expressions of the stages in which things change.

The order of production is as follows: Create a drawing book using the entire magazine → Scan a double-page spread → Digitally process and correct using Photoshop → Print a poster of the inverted data → Transfer to a homemade wooden panel (apply a medium to the surface of the wooden panel and press the printed surface) → When the medium is completely dry, peel off the back of the poster to reveal the printed surface → Process the texture of the screen using a medium (mixing paint) → Process the texture by putting on the sides (mixing paint) and sanding. Putty is a common building material that becomes invisible once the finish is applied, but I deliberately use it on the sides as part of the work (part of the paint). I also mixed paint into the putty to add color. I sand it finely so that the poster and the veneer are integrated, so that there is no sense of a step between the transferred screen and the veneer surface. Also, when I peel off the transferred paper, I do not peel it off completely, but rather leave the white paper partially as a texture.
