Details
Origin

Large lidded container crafted by Sun Kim. Sun's containers are thrown on the potter's wheel, then cut and assembled using hand building techniques. She explores the plasticity of the clay by folding, stretching, and assembling. The inscribed lines play a key role within her pieces, emphasising the sense of volume, tension and expansion.
Sun’s distinctive functional ceramics explore and reconcile the different cultures, tastes and aesthetics which she was exposed to whilst growing up, as well as continually taking inspiration from her surroundings. With porcelain and stoneware Sun creates ceramics which combine both traditional and contemporary aesthetics.
Dimensions: w-18cm x h-25cm

As all products are handmade sizes and colour may vary slightly.

Korean Sun Kim was born in Saudi Arabia and grew up in Brazil. Sun studied Fine Art in Sao Paulo, where she was introduced to ceramics by one of Brazil’s most eminent ceramicists, Lucia Ramenzoni. A passion for working with clay was cultivated during her first BA and she continued to train at Alfred University in New York. This second BA allowed Sun to develop and expand her practice to encompass throwing and hand-building . In 2004 Sun moved to England to work as an assistant to potter and author Edmund de Waal, who she still works for today, alongside at her own studio which she set up in 2007.
Sun’s work is widely exhibited throughout the UK and Europe and is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Northern Ireland and Mashiko Museum of Ceramic Art, Japan.
