Kim's
work is strongly influenced by the seasonal changes.
There is an emphasis upon simplicity, structure and space.
Lines and edges are kept clean with sweeping curves and folds creating
the main form.
The relief panels have been a prominent part of the work, and this
is an ongoing
development. Unlike the main body, the relief work is more organic
in appearance.
Simple shapes are clustered together to create abstract compositions.
Some pieces
have small areas of relief work, while others intergrate stronger
lines into the main
form itself.
Kim's work comprises of vessels and wall hangings, although her
present work
concentrates more on structured vessels. Each piece is slab-built
and is approximately
3mm thick. All have bases; however, they are not primarily designed
as containers!
Several clay bodies are used in the work. Ranging from semi-porcelain
to various
earthstone clays, dependant on it's appropriate firing. The work
is slab built, utilising
a variety of different glaze applications. The relief work on the
main body is finished with
lustres. A selection of different colours are used for this, whilst
keep the work as subtle
as possible by giving a metallic shine to the prominant areas.
Kim likes contrasts in her work. From the clean white surfaces to
the organic appearance
reated through sawdust firing an already glazed surface. This gives
the pieces more of
a raku finish to them. This smoke firing process changes the overall
appearance of the
work, creating a unique finish. No two pieces look the same. |
