This is one of a series of felt tapestries that fabric artist Chung-Im Kim recently created to mimic nature’s patterns. Kim sews together small pieces of fabric pulled taut to create tension and a 3D effect in the design.
"For me, patterns are hard to ignore as I encounter everyday life. Whether the source comes from nature, historical context or plainly created by me, working with patterns always gives me the thrill of entering a new world. A pattern can grow into a complex image jungle or a well-disciplined ornamental beauty.” Chung-Im Kim

Kim was born in Seoul, Korea and received her MFA from Seoul Women's University in 1984. Kim began her career working in the textile industry as a surface pattern designer while also running a studio in Seoul and teaching at a college before moving to Canada in 1990.
