Artist Statement:
Kim started experimenting with
painting at an early age. She
was drawn to incorporating
plant material into paintings.
This originated through a more
careful inspection of some
hydrangea petals she
collected. Huge leaves,
stalks, flowers and seeds add
a distinction and nuance to
her work. Her technique of
adding and taking away of
acrylic paint, the use of
found objects, wax, glitter,
and stitching, is necessary
for the accumulation of layers
of color and subsequent growth
and depth of each piece. Her
collection explores the
emotions of current
environmental issues and the
relationship between humanity
and the earth as a celestial
body. Her work expresses the
sensitivity and
introspectiveness the natural
environment inspires.
