Art Practice
Kim’s practice centres around eco-philosophy and new materialism – a field of philosophical inquiry informed by science, philosophy, feminism, and cultural theory. Motivated by the potential of art to inspire new ways of thinking and acting in the world, she employs an innovative approach, exploring the intersection of art and science. She engages in ongoing research to develop and integrate alternative, eco-friendly materials, including woven root systems and algae-based biopolymers. Within her décollage artworks, she explores the potential of repurposing the leaves of discarded publications.
