About

Josephine Kim is an interdisciplinary artist and writer working with the rich imagery of poetry, the craft of textiles, and the accessibility of artists' books. Her works portray how familial objects such as a quilted table runner, her grandparents' dining table, or food grown in her mother's garden can be vessels of personal history and reveal intimate moments in interpersonal relationships. The repetition of dynamic imagery such as drying tomato calyces or melting candles serves as a reminder of the inevitable passage of time. The viewers' participation is essential to her artmaking—she often invites them to play and rearrange and thus create their own relationships to and interpretations of her work.
