Siwol October Kim

Based in Seoul, South Korea, Artist Siwol Kim (October Kim) offers a contemporary reinterpretation of rock formations. Sand and earth, weathered from boulders are presented to the artisan as materials. Through human touch, wind, and fire, these elements solidify back into stone. Existing between nature and artifice, the solid, coarse materiality of the stone captures a moment that reverses the passage of weathering and time.
