Gallery-represented artist Kim Ah Sam (Kuku Yalanji/Kalkadoon) explores the connection between Country and the human body through woven sculpture. For Melbourne Art Fair’s BEYOND sector, Kim has produced Before & Beyond, Our Journey, a constellation of levitating sculptures which gently hover and spin, possessing a kinetic quality.
Speaking with Melbourne Art Fair, Kim provides insight on her self-taught, intuitive and improvisational weaving process, her use of recycled materials, and capturing personal journeys on Country through her works.
Watch the full video here, and make sure to visit her work at Melbourne Art Fair this year — located just across from the Vivien Anderson Gallery booth (Booth F1).
