Product Description
Kim's large and small white porcelain cases, made using a slabbing technique, create luxury and coarseness in a mixture of elements from traditional furniture, metal ornamentation, and ceramics. Any by examining her work's properties one by one, we find for example weighty rectangles changing diversely in proportion with the shape of a lid. Her porcelain pieces provoke tender, warmhearted atmospheres, and seem to transform traditional wooden furniture, there in a work' s long stretched out foot; in a work's foot resembling a small table leg. Gyeongcheop, or decorative metal hinge used for making traditional furniture solid, (or simplified lock) also decorates her work, and distinguishes front from back. Kim's work embraces elements of typical traditional Korean craft, such as rectangular proportion, metal materials, and wooden furniture, with a contemporary attitude and feel.
