Miae Kim

Miae Kim’s slab-built forms an exploration of the relationship between East and West. “I weave together fragments of history and culture—old Korean motifs, intricate patterns from palace walls in Seoul, and decorative trims from Buddhist temple roof tiles—juxtaposed with the clean lines and minimalist aesthetics of Western design.” She decorates each refined form incorporating multiple techniques, including inlay, sgraffito with freehand carving on painted terra sigillata, and enhancing with hand-painted glaze and custom-designed decals.
