About
Sun Kim (b. 1977) is a Korean ceramicist born in Saudi Arabia. She received her first BA in Fine Arts in Brazil where she grew up. She continued her ceramics studies, graduating with a second BA from Alfred University, New York in 2003. In 2004 she moved to the UK to undertake a studio assistantship with Edmund de Waal. In 2007, she set up her own practice in South London where she is currently based.
Kim’s work focuses on making functional objects which explore the relationship between the traditional and the contemporary. She finds inspiration from her surroundings: objects and their historical context, architecture, texture, colour, design and nature. They all continually feed her visual language and open new paths of investigation.
