HoJung Kim

Show RCA work

Major project:

I create objects that have an awareness of the space they occupy; through the movement of colours within a variety of forms. While at the Royal College of Art, I have found that material exploration and investigation of different production processes can ignite a project. 

It is in this manner that I developed the surface qualities of these vessels, which explore movement and harmony – colours drift across the forms. The world is unfathomably diverse, consisting of many cultures; each with unique habits and traditions. This collection aims to capture something of this diversity, through the touch of the maker’s hand, colour, and clay.
