Colour fusions
Hyojung Yun is primarily concerned with unusual glaze effects on ceramic surfaces. Her experiments strive to combine stability and lightness. In her works, the refraction of light rays shining through the glaze base seems to dissolve the boundary between inside and outside. By scattering solid pieces of glaze, she allows the glaze to reveal its different tones.

Hyojung Yun's main areas of work well explained:
Crystal glazes are glazes in which crystals grow in the glaze during the firing process. They are formed during the cooling process and solidify with the glaze.
Glaze is a glass-like layer which, from a purely functional point of view, is mainly used to provide the porous shards underneath (term for a fired ceramic mass) with a waterproof, dense coating.
In fossil fuel furnaces fired with oil, gas, wood, coal or coke, the fire occurs in an open flame and reducing atmosphere.
Thanks to its modern technology, the electrically powered kiln is a relatively safe firing method that can be used to fire at high temperatures.
Designation for a ceramic material made of feldspar, kaolin and quartz, with dense, light-coloured to white shards (term for a fired ceramic mass)
In the context of the „Internationalen Keramiktage Oldenburg“ , the term "unique vessel" is associated with special, artistic vessels.
In the context of the „Internationalen Keramiktage Oldenburg“ , the term "sculpture/object" refers to ceramics that are not subject to any function.
The term "utility ceramics" is used in the context of the "International Ceramics Days Oldenburg" to refer to handmade ceramics which, no matter what form they take, are primarily geared to function.
