Moonju Suh was volunteering as an assistant in S12 in the summer 2019. She is a MFA Glass student from Edinburgh College of Art.

Her background is in graphic Visual Design, with a particular focus on drawing characters. Most of her early works sought to give viewers a feeling of happiness and playfulness.

As of 2020, she is finishing in her MFA degree in Glass at Edinburgh College of Art. She is researching and experimenting in glass through blowing, casting, engraving, and coldworking techniques.  Moonju expresses both playfulness as well as other contrasting emotional states through her glass work, by using a kitschy aesthetic, which was inspired from Kidult toy culture, that often obscures the darker tones within.

Ata Turkoglu researched ways in which S12 can reach artists outside Europe and North America to recruit a more diverse group of artists for the Artist in Residence and Exhibition programs at S12. He also worked with current Artists in Residence to help us understand how to better facilitate artists in the future. Additionally, he communicated with the parents of children in our Sunday programs to help us better assess the successes and shortcomings of this government funded program.
