Lab ROME’23
Ki Yeun Kim Korea, Republic of Mix Media

Artwork title : Deviation

I use cleaning supplies on the canvas which represent female labor that has been considered trivial and insignificant to life. I try to assemble blankets, mops and cleaning sponges on the stretcher bars, which I manipulate outside of the traditional frame.  At the same time, every single spect of supplies contributes to the abstract composition, so it is significant to see the moment of transition from mundane object to visual language. Through those processes, I attempt to break down the boundaries between domestic labor and artistic activity.
