Moments on the beach at Maya Bay, climbing up to the Phi Phi viewpoint and heading through the intensity of Khao San Road are all shared memories we get to experience through Kim’s work.
A Specific Artwork: Ko_Pha_Ngan
An untouched piece of paradise memorialised through a bright cacophony of bush fuses together the hallucination of memory with the reality of place. A singular bar on the mountain orientates us to the angle Kim has chosen to illustrate. While a photograph captures an accurate display of a time and place, Kim has captured the vibe of the island that puts many who visit into a trance like state.
