About the Item
This contemporary white and blue-gray tapestry was hand-sewn by Canadian fabric artist Chung-Im Kim. Inspired by her own rich heritage and intricate patterns found in nature, Kim uses industrial felt to create her wall hangings. Coloured ink adds dramatic contrast, visible texture and expressive detail to the white fabric. Kim sews together small pieces of industrial felt, pulled taut to create a raised pattern and tension in the design. In Korean, Moolbora means water splash.
“For me, patterns are everywhere and can manifest in many ways. At the same time, the structural modules represent certain growths or changes brought about through the passage of time.” 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.

Chung-Im Kim
Chung-Im Kim was born in Seoul, Korea and received her MFA from Seoul Women's University in 1984. She began her career working in the textile industry as a surface pattern designer while also teaching and running a studio in Seoul before moving to Canada in 1990. Since her arrival, Kim has been a resident in the Textile Studio at Harbourfront Centre and a freelance designer in the design industry before becoming an associate professor in the Fibre Dept at OCAD University in Toronto. Kim places equal emphasis on both her teaching and artistic career. Her role as an educator has expanded toward institutional collaborations challenging her students to work in a variety of public settings. At the same time she has also maintained an active studio practice with exhibitions at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, U.S.; Bogojae Gallery in Seoul, Korea; and a solo exhibition at David Kaye Gallery in Toronto.
