Seeun Kim
Seeun Kim is a South Korean metal craftswoman, visual artist and educator. From her perspective, she believes that the human hand is a gift from human evolution. Even though today there are a number of advanced technologies, handicraft products have a high scarcity and sophisticated beauty compared to mass-produced manmade products. Furthermore, there is an inexpressible complexity in the handicraft world that a machine cannot imitate.
Seeun loves making things and believes in their value. Her main skills are delicate metal skills and since 2012 she has made over 1000 metal works to refine her sophisticated handicraft skills. Moreover, as Kim is a material researcher she has been focusing on finding diverse materials to combine with her delicate metal skills. She thinks that lots of practices, endeavours and failures are her best teacher and her worthwhile experiences are such a valuable book in her life. Also, she pursues to keep the balance between the tradition and the modern in her work.
