How does Stratiformis (sculpture) elucidate its Installation?
To create Stratiformis, Kim led processes related to research, fabrication, and installation. She took up residence and a studio in Milwaukee and collaborated extensively. Students from MIAD assisted with research on the local community and area businesses of the present and past. They also worked with Kim in the studio. According to Kim, the collaboration of MIAD students as an “integral part of the original process." During the weeks prior to the dedication, Kim and several students moved their studio practice out to the sculpture's site. According to Kim, “People were puzzled and fascinated that it was literally being tied together by hand." The sculpture was dedicated on May 3, 2006.
