Resilient, 2013 H700 W600
Kim continues to ride her art like a teeter board, a continuous wrestle with balance, texture versus form, line versus tone, negative versus positive. In Resilient we have the sensual sleekness of the stainless steel finding its place against rusty iron, the fragile lines contrasting with the bold gestures of the corrugated steel and the empty spaces perfectly balancing the filled. And in this emerges a story, a narrative of survival, one final balancing act where Kim asks us will mankind overwhelm nature or will a trees ability to change with its environment leave it to bare witness over mans demise.
