Angelica Freeman is a sculptor whose practice gives voice to silenced histories, weaving resilience and hope. Born and raised in Seoul, Korea, with years spent in post-Soviet countries before settling in the American South, her experiences of migration shaped her passion for the craft of traditional materials - glass, clay, stone, and wood - as vessels of memory, echoing her identity as a Korean American artist rooted in the American South.
