Chulan Kwak says craft is “to be realized by meeting with concepts and materials”, but from the point of view of craft itself, this concept is intuitively grasped through matter. Whether the idea of starting design or craft is a form roll that appears as a matter of personal demand or market demand, Chulan, who says that he himself is good at giving forms to concepts with materials, calls himself “form-giver”. For him, design does not end with giving by order, but is the artist’s own per- sonal record, which remains as a specially shaped material. This is what makes Chulan a designer and a proud artist.
