When Christine Kim was doing graduate studies in Edmonton, she explains, it was important she be able to keep making art with something that was portable. She says, "The easiest thing that I could carry or I could buy there that's very portable is paper. And it just led to wall collages — it was just kind of a huge tornado of paper."
