Lizzy Moon’s artistic practice deeply explores themes of time, spirituality, and memory through the subtle language of nature-inspired colors and slow, repetitive gestures. Her work invites viewers into poetic, immersive environments where sensory experience and reflection intertwine.
As a teaching artist, Moon has participated in international cultural exchange programs and leads workshops aligned with her artistic vision. Drawing from her overseas residency experiences, she fosters inclusivity and collective creativity through community-based art projects, emphasizing shared participation and connection.
If I could hold the vanishing colors of the earth, and let them whisper their stories on my canvas.
The artist meticulously creates pigments infused with her lived experiences, sourcing raw materials directly from nature. Her work transcends capturing nature’s colors, offering a reflective commentary on climate change and the fragility of ecosystems. Beginning in her hometown of Busan, South Korea, her practice has evolved into a global journey, uncovering stories embedded in diverse landscapes.
In each location, she collects natural materials, engages with the local community, and explores themes of belonging and identity through photography, drawing, and writing. By transforming her encounters into pigments, she creates chromatic archives that document memory, place, and the interconnectedness of human and natural histories. This pigment project is not merely a study of color. It is a meditation, a dialogue, a question posed to the earth itself. A search for the hues that slip between moments, for the fleeting traces of light and season, for the quiet, unspoken language of the natural world.
