Exhibition Label: “Textures of Interpretation: Meaning and Materiality in Global Contemporary Art," Jan-2010, Sooa Im Kim Yik Yung’s Covered Vessel is a modern reinterpretation of ritual vessels from the Joseon period (1392-1910). While Joseon ritual porcelains inspired Kim’s minimalistic approach to shaping vessels, her metallic black glazing echoes ancient Chinese ritual bronze vessels. By slicing pliable porcelain with a knife, Kim imparts a structured, architectonic texture to this otherwise soft material.
