YoonJung Kim is a Korean artist based in London. She completed MA in Sculpture at Wimbledon College of Art in 2008. Her work is often characterized by the utilization and transformation of ubiquitous materials through labour intensive process.
My practice often involves an investigation into process and repetition. I have principally used materials that could be described as familiar, mundane and functional in my work – for example snap fasteners, string, A4 papers, tags, stickers - but that could contain a secondary reading when used out of their intended context. The relative significance of these materials could be perceived as diminished by their status as being ordinary. Familiar materials contain the potential to be transfigured into the non-familiar by repetitious process. The application of a prescribed, repeated process to a material generates a new form. The realization of this form is entirely dependent on the process of its manufacture. Moreover, although actions are intangible, a process that generates a trace generates an object – actions can become tangible. A simple repetitive act can render the ordinary extraordinary.
