Kim's drawings are fabulously detailed and often surreal; drawings filled with images within images within
images. She loves colours and patterns, and she takes inspiration from all sorts, from interesting textures to molecular biology. This she mixes with images from her own vivid imagination. At the moment she says that her drawings
are reflecting her recent interest in beautiful wood grain and the Mayan
weavings that she photographed obsessively while she was in Central America.
Kim's drawings are essentially a beautiful set of intricate
diaries. If you look closely into the details that make up her hybrid characters
and landscapes you can find stories of travels, thoughts, dreams, fantasies and
memories.
Kim says "My work as a 2D animator is symbiotic
with my drawing and I love the character design of Sylvain Chomet and Brian
Froud, and the surreal animations Blu creates of creatures-within- creatures
. Gina Intveen's paintings that hold
images-within-images have also provided a lot of inspiration over recent
months, as have the detailed organic images of Ernst Haekel."
Kim will be exhibiting her fantastic works at the New Artist Fair!
