In June Park's painting practice unfolds as an ongoing bricolage-an assemblage of images that both reveal and obscure the complexities of lived experience. Drawing from the visual strategies of the camera generation, Park utilizes distance, composition, cropping, and collage to define the boundaries of the canvas. Mirror reflections appear with varying degrees of proximity and significance, surfacing like fragments of memory that hover between precision and ambiguity.
Park's imagery is highly specific yet often adopts a collage-like sensibility, mirroring the fragmented, layered nature of human recall. She is drawn to painting for its ability to isolate a subject from its original context, allowing for deeper interpretation and dissection. Her subjects-ranging from religious iconography and protective garments to discarded household items-are removed from their environments and recontextualized across works, forming a collective, evolving narrative throughout the series.
