Steven Junil Park is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Ōtautahi, working under the name 6x4. Under this label he produces all manner of functional objects with a focus on clothing and textiles.
These one-off pieces feature recycled, repurposed, or vintage materials; valuing resourcefulness and the memory of materials. His practice is heavily process-based, where materials come alive while being worked to create a language to commune with the intangible.
His work is a way of exploring identity and place as a Korean-born New Zealander, using the tacit knowledge gained through the practice of craft as a way to understand what it means to be human.
