Soojin Choi (b. 1991) was born and raised in South Korea and has worked as an artist in the United States since 2010. She earned her BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2015 with a double major in Craft/Material Studies and Painting/Printmaking, followed by an MFA in ceramics from Alfred University in 2018.
Choi's practice centers on expressing ambiguous human emotion through the simultaneous manipulation of flat and spatial surfaces. She works primarily in clay, building layered compositions that articulate feelings of ambivalence through subtle facial expression, gaze, body gesture, color, and mark-making. Her approach allows her to seamlessly move between dimensions and textures, creating sculptural forms and figures that investigate the interplay between people, physical space, and emotional states. She has been a resident at the Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis, Red Lodge Clay Center in Montana, and the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, supported by the Anonymous Artist Studio Fellowship.
