That was because this year of course will go on (2014)
Hand-cut paper
60 x 61 in.
Artist Soo Kim (b. 1969, Seoul, Korea) often uses techniques of cutting and layering to introduce areas of absence or disruption within photographs. She believes that this lengthy process infuses the photographs with “slowness” that finds its counterpart in the amount of time it takes for viewers to comprehend them.
That was because this year of course will go on is a relief sculpture in paper is a study in white, and a monochromatic exploration of how light and shadows create image. The branches in this sculpture are all tangled together and without order. The branches change color based on how separated it is from its plane, and how the light interacts with it. The absence of color emphasizes the floating, anti-gravitational structure, that not only exposes the fragile nature of the paper, but the attention to detail within the sculpture.
