Chung-Im Kim
New Dawn - white, textured, biomorphic, abstract, industrial felt wall sculpture

2023

About the Item

In this elegant monochromatic white tapestry by fabric artist Chung-Im Kim, finely detailed patterns swirl around the fabric. Kim’s organic form is inspired by the patterns she sees in nature. The white ink on white fabric provides a subtle texture. By sewing small pieces of industrial felt together that are then pulled taut, Kim creates a web-like 3-D effect. The Canadian artist’s work is contemporary but it is also rooted in the rich traditions of her Korean homeland. “(With New Dawn) I want to express the tranquillity and freshness, the elegance of the serenity.” Chung-Im Kim Chung-Im Kim has received accolades and exhibitions for her work from prestigious institutions such as the Boston Museum of Art, the invitational Bojagi Exhibition at the Suwon Park Museum in Korea, the Museum Nagele in the Netherlands, and the Belgian Triennial Contemporary Textile Arts Exposition. Kim's exquisite design and execution have been honoured with top prizes and awards in many international art competitions. One of her works was selected for a gift from Canada to the president of China. She received her MFA from Seoul Women's University in 1984, and has taught at OCAD University in Toronto since 2006. She is represented by the Oeno Gallery.

  • Large Sculpture: 'Lady Whistlesdown Baggage Cart' : Emotional Baggage Cart
    By Theda Sandiford
    Located in New York, NY
    My Emotional Baggage Carts are vessels to dispose of racial trauma. The act of making, weaves the sting of macro and microaggressions into the cart, freeing me from these constraints. Each recovered shopping cart is unique, but they all are woven with upcycled materials like rope, paracord, grocery bags, rope lights, beads, fabric, and bottle caps. The cart is with a protective zip tie blanket to trap trauma and prevent its escape. For me, my Emotional Baggage Carts are a release, for you, they are an opportunity to look within and recognize any emotional baggage you, yourself may be carrying and release it. Theda Sandiford...
