Mimi's sculptural work stands out for her unique technique of forming written words into sculptural ceramics. She draws inspiration from a rich tapestry of sources: her deep knowledge of ceramic history, literary landscapes like Richard Brautigan's "In Watermelon Sugar," and philosophical concepts found in works like T.S. Eliot's "Four Quartets" and Herman Hesse's "The Glass Bead Game".

Mimi is an award-winning ceramic artist originally from South Korea, now based in London. She trained as a ceramist and artist at the Fine Art department in Wonkwang University, South Korea and the Royal College Of Art, United Kingdom, where she completed her masters in ceramic and glass. As a prominent figure in the contemporary ceramic art scene, she has participated in artist residencies at renowned institutions like the Banff Arts Centre and received numerous grants and awards.
