YUNHEE MIN: NEW PAINTINGS

"One strategy Min uses to frame this idea of amplification is to repeat patterns in her work. A mark, like that of the roller, may be picked up and inserted in another part of the painting, or responded to, such as when she blocks in the negative space formed between her rolled tracks.”

- Nick Herman in "Island of the Senses"
