Catalogue Note
While the rest of the contemporary world becomes larger and grander in scale, Ham Jin focuses on the minute. The characters he creates with easily accessible material such as clay, paper and chewing gum often require a magnifying glass to fully appreciate their comic expressions that seem to tell a story on their own.
