Ham Jin
at Shin Gallery
New York, NY, USA
Mar 06, 15 - Apr 30, 15
Ham Jin seems to have spent his childhood living in a different world, a micro-world, with its own peculiar set of rules. Through his arrangement of miniscule clay sculptures, Ham Jin gives us a window into this world, depicting scenes that might be a rendition of ordinary life for its inhabitants, but these lives are ordinarily invisible to us. His work Underneath It presents visual stories that the artist collected and edited from barely noticed scenes in marginal spaces. read more...
