Sun Kim focuses on making functional and sculptural objects which
explore the relationship between the traditional and the contemporary. This series of geometric vessels, are individually
content but also work very well in groups. They form a language of work
that Sun has been developing and refining for the last few years and
they play with geometry and composition.

Sun’s making process
involves different techniques such as wheel throwing, hand building and
assembling. Her aim is to explore three-dimensionality, emphasizing the
senses of volume, tension and expansion within a form.

The
inspiration comes from her surroundings: objects and their historical
context, architecture, texture, colour, design and nature. They all
continually feed her visual language and open new paths of
investigation.

For Sun, making is a personal journey as each piece
progresses within the studio. She finds it intriguing how her pots
begin to create new narratives for themselves when placed in different
settings. The work begins to interact with its new environment taking on
a new context.
