Details
How would you describe the work you do and why?
The simplicity of Kim's vessel forms displays the grain and natural colour of the woods being used. His making is a response to the nature of the wood and is intuitive and emotional rather than prescriptive and defining; the form that emerges is a reaction to the wood being used. Although a vessel maker his concern is with the form and surface, function becomes peripheral. Kim's products range from bud vases and lidded boxes to larger bowls, vases and platters, to large statement pieces, including natural edge pieces.
