Minah Kim - Sokuri Basket

5.5" H x 12.25" D

This gorgeous bowl form from Resident Artist Minah Kim is a staple of the artist's current practice. This form is a redescription of domestic basket sokuri that were widely used in traditional Korean households and markets to contain fruits and vegetables. It is a round and concave basket originally made from bush clover or bamboo. Kim's bowl is a functional sculpture, evoking and honoring Korean traditions.
