Jin Eui Kim
Ceramics
Ceramicist Jin Eui Kim makes both functional and sculptural works that explore the illusory effects of tonal bands on three-dimensional surfaces. Through the precise application of graduated tone, and by varying the widths of coloured bands and the intervals between each of them, Jin Eui creates mesmerizing works that are both visually and intellectually challenging.
