Known primarily as a sculptor who produced abstract wooden pieces and stone-carved works, Kim Lim channelled natural materials into paradoxical expressions of stillness and motion, substance and weightlessness. Her practice explores the relationship between art and nature, drawing inspiration from her varied travels across Asia and her life in Europe. In this publication, her process of shaping materials into contours of curves, lines and surfaces over three decades of artistry takes centre stage. Writings, sketches and notes shed new light on her masterpieces, offering a glimpse into Lim s personal and artistic life.
