Installations

Over the past few years Kim has been working on a series of installation pieces for indoor and outdoor applications. These pieces are in various stages of completion.

The first completed project is an installation inside the new Moonstone Preschool in Philadelphia, PA. The preschool asked several Philadelphia artists to create wall sculptures that represented the basic tenets of the school: "Create, Learn, and Grow". Kim chose the "Learn Wall" as she had been interested in using books as a sculptural material for some time and thought the subject fit. She limited herself to that one material and after several different ideas, she reached a decision to "write" with the books. These books seem to emerge from the wall in unison, creating a cursive three-dimensional representation of the word "Learn".                                                                   Book Wall installation

Currently, Kim is working on two other projects. The first is a large scale sculpture for the exterior of a building. It is comprised of hundreds of laser-cut pieces of aluminum shaped in the silhouettes of birds in flight.                                        Plans for "Birds" wall

Another installation in production is "Chain Mail". On November 15th of 2007, Kim set out to create a sculpture out of the junk mail that came through her door in one full year. The result is a seemingly endless chain of paper wherein each individual piece is connected to the next. This connection is achieved through the special way each piece is folded. At present, Kim would like to install the chain on an enormous wall where she will create a  line drawing with the chain in the shape of a giant oak tree.                                                 "Chain"
