               Constant becoming. Accumulated mistakes.
       


                    A thing is not just what it is right now, but also what it withdraws from us, what it could be, and what it might become.






 

Hyunjee Kim is a sculptor based in London, UK focusing on the process of making, resonating with Daoism and phenomenology. Kim ‘stops’ repeating the process at one point and watch the piece going on its new journey from that linear line. Her works withdraw from her as they belong to the larger unfolding of existence.

Using plaster, Kim creates something that wants to become something, something that chooses a path of becoming something new instead. Something new that is not new, but something that exists beyond our desire, dream, and fear. A belongingness that ties people together via our imaginations, individual expressions that differentiates how each of us perceive it. Her focus weighs on the process of ‘wandering’ and ‘walking’, drawing an intuitive map.

What she was making is not just what it used to be anymore, and that makes us foresee the existence beyond her perception at present and eventually starting to believe on what it could be, and what it might become. Her pieces contain a dynamic of endless possibilities and potentials that might over time change.

Artist Residency-


at Arts Letters and Numbers, Averill Park, NY, US

                                                                 






Arts Letters & Numbers is an emergent structure opening spaces within broad human and disciplinary geographies; spaces of participation, of communication, of reciprocity, for people and their works to listen to each other, to listen to the world.

Conceived as a Disciplinary Chora, Arts Letters & Numbers is a place of creative urgency and intensity of purpose, a place to create new linkages, new thought processes, new pathways of understanding that embody our best hopes and aspirations, a place where many elements come together to co-construct questions and works; of empathy, of ethics, of imagination that include our nuanced fragilities in our shared stories.

The transformations of our time contain great promises and great challenges; they call for considered stewardship and new spaces bringing together diverse voices, visions, forms of knowledge and expression, spaces to care for and strengthen the fibers of our social contract; to transform how we experience today into how we will experience tomorrow.
