Yurim Gough is a British-based Ceramic visual artist originally from Korea, a country with a historic tradition of ceramics.
Starting with life drawing and experimenting with other media, she found herself drawn to her cultural roots in ceramics, mixing the two. In 2013 she made bowls and sketched live models drawing directly onto the contoured surfaces, combining the organic hand-moulded form of the bowl with the human form of the model. A couple of years later she began to add imagery to the pieces to extend the narratives that began with the poses, seeking inspiration from what she found captured in the drawings.
