Sun Kim Korean
“My work focuses on making functional objects which explore the relationship between the traditional and the contemporary. The inspiration comes from my surroundings: objects and their historical context, architecture, texture, colour, design and nature. They all continually feed my visual language and open new paths of investigation. Making is not only a personal journey but also my interest in generating interaction and a narrative within the environment.”
Born in Saudi Arabia and brought up in Brazil, Sun Kim is a Korean ceramicicst who moved to the UK in 2004 to undertake a studio assistantship with Edmund de Waal - one of the world's leading artists working in ceramics today. Having studied ceramics and received her first BA in Fine Arts in Sao Paulo, Brazil, she continued her studies in ceramics, graduating with a second BA from Alfred University, New York in 2003. In 2007 she set up her own studio practice in London where she is currently based.
