Yong Joo Kim [RISD MFA ’09, Jewelry + Metalsmithing]
Think of beans, straws, pins, nails, velcro, snaps, cable ties, and electric caps. These objects are not normally considered beautiful or valuable. Yong Joo Kim explores the value of such mundane objects, and discovers their hidden beauty through a process of reconfiguration. She pays close attention to the objects and their system of organization in her environment. She brings in new ways of looking at these objects by creating relationships among them.
By assembling, grouping, clustering, and piling, the small and simple elements become complex, and give rise to the unexpected. Her investigation of creation, innovation, and transformation questions the definition of value, and provides a never-ending field for invention.
