CHUNG-IM KIM

Maria Rosaria Roseo

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Chung-Im Kim is an artist, designer and educator living near Cookstown, Ontario. Born in Korea, Kim taught Textiles at both Seoul Women’s University and Induk Institute. She also worked as a freelance designer in Korea producing surface pattern designs for fabric as well as a series of children’s magazine illustrations before she immigrated to Canada in 1990. Following her arrival Kim became a resident in the Textile Studio at Harbourfront Centre from 1998 till 2001, and has since maintained an active studio practice: executing numerous private commissions.

Chung-Im Kim silkscreens prints onto industrial felt pieces, hand-stitching the felt to create dimensional wall sculptures that seem to sway – creating an illusion made even more convincing by the combination of surface pattern and clever stitching.

“Why felt? (…) I was struck by the unique quality and rich potential of this relatively unknown material. The more I engaged the more I became attached to this material, and continue to explore it’s flexibility, shape forming ability, and forgiving nature. These qualities allow me to realize my ideas in a physical body of work. Like many in this field, I feel that understanding material fully and obtaining the technical skill to handle it are every bit as important as developing the idea”.

CHUNG-IM KIM

Maria Rosaria Roseo

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Chung-Im Kim è un’artista, designer ed educatrice che vive vicino a Cookstown, Ontario. Nata in Corea, Kim ha insegnato discipline tessili sia alla Seoul Women’s University che all’Induk Institute. Ha anche lavorato come designer freelance in Corea producendo disegni per tessuti e dopo il suo trasferimento in Canada nel 1990, Kim è entrata a far parte dello Studio Tessile dell’Harbourfront Centre dal 1998 al 2001, e da allora ha mantenuto un’attiva pratica di studio e ha eseguito numerose commissioni private.

Chung-Im Kim realizza serigrafie su feltro industriale, cucendo a mano il feltro per creare sculture murali dimensionali che sembrano ondeggiare –creando un’illusione resa ancor più convincente dalla combinazione di disegni e sapienti cuciture.

“Perché il feltro? (…) sono rimasta colpita dalla qualità unica e dal ricco potenziale di questo materiale relativamente sconosciuto. Più mi cimentavo con essoe più mi affezionavo e continuavo ad esplorarne la flessibilità, la capacità di essere modellato. Queste qualità mi permettono di realizzare le mie idee. Come molti in questo campo, ritengo che comprendere appieno il materiale e acquisire la capacità tecnica per gestirlo sia importante tanto quanto sviluppare l’idea”.

Maria Rosaria Roseo

English version Dopo una laurea in giurisprudenza e un’esperienza come coautrice di testi giuridici, ho scelto di dedicarmi all’attività di famiglia, che mi ha permesso di conciliare gli impegni lavorativi con quelli familiari di mamma. Nel 2013, per caso, ho conosciuto il quilting frequentando un corso. La passione per l’arte, soprattutto l’arte contemporanea, mi ha avvicinato sempre di più al settore dell’arte tessile che negli anni è diventata una vera e propria passione. Oggi dedico con entusiasmo parte del mio tempo al progetto di Emanuela D’Amico: ArteMorbida, grazie al quale, posso unire il piacere della scrittura al desiderio di contribuire, insieme a preziose collaborazioni, alla diffusione della conoscenza delle arti tessili e di raccontarne passato e presente attraverso gli occhi di alcuni dei più noti artisti tessili del panorama italiano e internazionale.
