KIMI KIM WITTLING

Kimi Kim has been working in various genres including textile, woodcraft, print, lacquer, graphic design and ceramics since 1994. After graduating in Ceramics Design from Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design in London, she has been focusing more on ceramics. Her works feature delicate forms inspired by nature, such as trees, leaves, and petals made from fragile materials, such as ceramic and “paper clay”. These forms represent the nature of love and care in Kim’s personal life and how these relationships and beacons of joy are impossibly fragile, yet indescribably precious.

People always live longing for what they can or can’t have dreaming of achieving something. In my first series, I wanted to talk about women’s desires and thirst through Chanel bags, but they expressed their desire to be jealous and disdain because they couldn’t have it in the closet, and they couldn’t have it in the form of a torn bag.

The second desire series LEGO is looking back at my childhood when I see the LEGO blocks my kids play with, and we always have a desire to achieve something, but we are a little bit concentric and built up some form of LEGO blocks as I want. Why don’t we all become artists.
