Rather than concealing the irregularities of the material, Kim allows variations in texture, particles, and firing to remain visible, giving each piece a sense of geological depth and quiet individuality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlthough deeply rooted in material exploration, his work is made to be used. Plates, bowls, and small vessels bring this tactile quality directly to the table, creating a subtle relationship between the earth from which the object is made and the food placed upon it.
