Kim You-Sun chooses mother-of-pearl as a medium in part for its natural beauty and luminous quality, in part to express the processes of transformation and spiritual transcendence. Her work presents a reinterpretation of minimalist sculptural forms, with the mother-of-pearl applied as a surface veneer. The “Rainbow Project,” of which one work will be on view, utilizes the symbolic motif of the rainbow as representing love and reconciliation.
