Inspiration for their work comes from many places. The long history of ceramics offers an abundance of knowledge to draw from and lets both Kim and the viewer ponder the greater world in which ceramics is a part of. Landscape and nature have also played muse to their work. The materiality of the clay itself, with its ability to mimic other materials and its intrinsic weaknesses and strengths, can feed the development of certain pieces. The work can be thrown and altered, moulded or hand-crafted, but they are always incorporating tactility and the idea of movement into the piece.
