These "shelters", "blessing
boards" and "altars" mark a turning point in
Kim's personal work.
With the onset of the Iraq war, Kim creates solace and safety
in the mysterious micro world of plants, insects, shells and
natural artifacts. The jumble of collaged handmade paper,
pressed leaves and intricate graphite drawings are combined
with beads, old rusted tin, wood, plaster and paint.

Animals, plants and insects require protection from global warming
and changing environments. |

These
"houses" or "shelters" playfully
reconstruct a safety zone. |

the entrance to your house

within your home. |
