HYUNJU KIM


For Hyunju Kim, each stitch of thread is the flow of time and often becomes a road to childhood. The sewing machine, at which her mother always worked during her childhood, gives a visual motif to her that stimulates a different kind of maternal love, symbolizing the flow of time. Something she remember about her childhood—”I always drew pictures with threads whenever I was not with my mother. Sewing machine was a means for living for mother, but it was both a playground and resting place for me. The search for my identity around the sewing machine established the groundwork for my creative work.”
