These days, nature has become more than just a object to be expressed, but the artwork itself. Natural objects such as stone or water, live creatures such insects and animals and natural phenomena functions approach the viewer in its form of art. Everyday things and natural objects were shown to us as an artwork itself but not as an object for expression since a long time ago. Therefore, indoor and outdoor works just using natural objects cannot be called as a new name for new style art. But we can find the contents and the specific area of the art named as Nature art, if we pay attention to it's unique differences of connecting with nature and understanding the meaning of the artwork by relating with nature.
Korean Nature art, which is recently beginning to gain recognition, has a different attitude from western method developed in Art in Nature. We can see regularized Korean Nature art works from Yatoo members works working continually since the 1980s in Gongju Geumgang. Especially, 1980s works which developed specific methods of this kind of work, mostly exist only by documents but we can see that they tried to find the possibility of a new art which suggests nature to exist as an art state in a moment. They made art works with every phenomena and order of nature and untouched natural objects and it is such artworks that makes one think about nature and artists themselves looking at their works. This kind of artworks are done through minimal intervention. And nature is not just nature, it is included as an art state, also people enjoy the meaning through nature itself and at the same time people feel the impulse of imitation.
We could say Nature art expands the grammar of Conceptual art in unexpected ways in the nature, and opened the possibility that nature directly operates in an art work and in audiences' minds. So to speak, people can understand Nature art which is conceptual because the general principle(natural phenomena; shadow, water flow, wind etc) of nature is working in the center of the work, instead of art history and the process of aesthetic discussion. But I don't think it's a good idea for Nature art to stay in one place and just point at nature with artless and naive mind. In order for Nature art to be aesthetically distinguished and to expand into new areas endlessly, the distinctiveness should be enhanced and also the creativity of making various other types of it should be premised. Also, I think that Nature art can renew the value of itself by mixing various methods of contemporary art and specific ideas and methods achieved by Nature art.

Art Farm Project is planned to adopt Nature art as in using ecological phenomenons in art works through long periods of time. It is a special project which is difficult to be planned by other galleries or museums in the city, but can be tested by the 'Alternative Art Space Sonahmoo' located in the country side. Through this exhibition, nature and art exist together for a period of time. The meeting of art and plant is accomplished by earth, sun and plant. The meeting is not made at a brush. The process of sprouting, growing, blooming and fruit-bearing are usual nature phenomenons which we are used to. Works in the Art Farm are adopting this growing phenomena to art works, so nature and art meet every day in new ways and the contact itself is also art. Some of the artists had seeding performances, explaining their works to artists whom are attending this project together and audiences. Artists could not take care of their works everyday. Artworks left from artist and turned to the nature.
The whole process of growing, blooming and fruit-bearing is recorded by photos and are exhibited through the web-site. Now plants which were harmonized with art work will be gone to the earth when the cold wind blows but the seeds will be born again as new artworks.
Artists also did indoor works exhibiting their works such as photos which recorded the process of outdoor works and other ideas related to original works. It is for creative ideas, destroying the border of inside and outside. Nature art went out from the closed indoor mind, however now we declare that it is the time to re-expand Art Farm Project is not only possible in gardens and yards. It is also possible in cities where boxes or pots are usable. If little individual Art Farms link together, and if the 'Art and plants growing together' project become realized, Art and nature can grow into people lives and will bloom as a beautiful flower in their minds. 2006. 9 Art Farm in Oyanggol

Drawing by Green Onion / Wooden Box, Soil, Seeds (Green Onion) Won-gil's work begins by making a wooden frame and making a furrow with his finger, then planting green onion seeds in it. The neatly made wooden frame becomes a place to concentrate on the artists intention. The soft surface of the soil is like a canvas. He shows a drawing performance, presenting it as a artistic attempt to plant the seeds. 2006.5 As time goes by, the seeds that had sprouted showed a very fresh ecological drawing. While the green onion grew, the weeds were also getting crowded, and after thoughts, the artist made the places for the weeds on the four corners. I pulled out the weeds that were planted on the corners. Part of the soil were destroyed by the heavy rain in July, however no major problems. The clear marks of hands and the lines that were visible have grew to become unrecognizable. 2006.9
