Abstract
This study researched the interaction between the artist and the material in the creation of three-dimen-sional art based on Gaston Bachelard's 'material imagination' and the phenomenology of images. The crea-tive act of humans with spirit, body, and soul dealing with natural materials deserves to be called a 'crea-tive struggle'. The material imagination evoked by water, fire, air, and earth can allow artists to encounter archetypal images, and enhance the artist and their artworks. The researcher suggests that a more pro-found world of art can be unfolded if the artist selects natural materials and utilizes poetic images evoked by the materials' dialectical imagination and alchemical reveries. To present practical case for this, the ter-racotta technique was analyzed focusing on the fact that alchemical reveries occurs with the participation of all basic materials in its process. And the value of handwork was emphasized, and the four perspectives suggested by Bachelard to contemplate material's values was interpreted, and the three stages of partic-ipation were applied to the creative process of art, and Kwon Jin-gyu's terracotta work Hand was evaluated as a case study.
