      Artist Statement

      Kim is trained within ceramics, her work encompasses ideas based around the physicality of clay, pushing materiality through scale and presenting ceramics through a less conventional lens. Seclusion, encasement, retreat, and quietness are also key drivers within Kim's practice particularly interested in the phenomenology of architectural spaces which feeds in to Installations, site specific projects, commissions and residency programmes that make up her practice. Larger scale spacial works are undertaken with her collaborative partner Sasha Mazur- Knyazeva a friendship that formed during their MA at Central Saint Martins. The collaborative work is focused around ideas that involve the human senses and emotional response or experience through exploring spaces and the immersive quality within different environments, crossing contexts that bridge art, design and craft. In 2013 Kim was selected for the  Crafts Council's Hothouse3 programme partnered with Plymouth University and The Devon Guild of Craftsman.
