Exhibition Insights | Bella Kim: Transformations

Artist Bella Yongok Kim draws on Korean textile traditions to transform humble materials like produce bags, bubble mailers, foil wrappers, and plastic bags into richly detailed artworks. Her sewn pieces combine color, composition, texture, and transparency to create beautiful and ethereal installation works from what was discarded. Learn about her dedication to utilizing recycled materials and the rich cultural heritage that informs her work.
