꽈리의 형태를 이용한 금속공예 작품 연구 = A Study on Metal Craft Works Using the Shape of the Physalis

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Plant forms do not remain fixed; they reveal changes in line, plane, color, and texture through processes of growth and drying. Among them, Physalis is characterized by a pouch-like outer layer enclosing the fruit and a mesh-like linear structure. Over time, its plane-based form gradually transforms into a line-centered structure. Previous studies on nature-based artworks have mainly focused on external features or decorative imagery, while relatively few have examined structural changes and internal order that emerge over time from a formative perspective. This study aims to reinterpret the morphological characteristics of Physalis and the changes that occur during the drying process, focusing on the relationship between lines and planes as well as the structures of the interior and exterior, and to express them through metalwork.
For this study, the biological and formative characteristics of Physalis were examined through internet resources, dissertations, and specialized books. In addition, examples of paintings and three-dimensional works using Physalis as a subject were analyzed to compare different modes of expression and to explore the formative possibilities of its form and structure. Based on this research, the outer structure of Physalis, the flow of leaf veins, and the morphological changes that appear after drying were selected as key elements for the artwork. Materials and techniques suitable for expressing these characteristics were then studied and applied to the design and production process.
In producing the artwork, sheet metal techniques were used together with lacquer, inlay, and coloring methods. Metal plates were used to express the organic curves and surface flow of Physalis, while metal wires were applied to visualize the mesh-like linear structure and inner space revealed after drying. Materials such as mother-of-pearl and eggshell were also combined to express surface texture, the flow of light, and traces of time formed during the drying process.
The study confirmed that Physalis changes from a plane-centered form to a line-centered structure through growth and drying. In this process, the relationship between the interior and exterior, repetitive patterns, and spatial formation became clearly visible. During the production process, the physical properties of metal and various surface treatment techniques made it possible to express the organic curves and structural order of Physalis. In particular, the contrast between the outer layer and leaf veins, as well as between planes and lines, visually revealed the process of morphological change.
This study presents new expressive possibilities of natural forms by translating the structural characteristics and temporal changes of Physalis into metalwork. Rather than simply reproducing the external appearance of the plant, it uses the process of transformation and internal structure as formative elements. This approach is meaningful in that it expands the scope of craft research based on natural forms and proposes a direction for exploring the relationship between nature and material in the field of metalwork.
