October Kim contemporizes the form of rocks by working with sand and earth weathered from stone. These materials undergo a transformative process involving hand, wind, and fire, eventually returning to their solid, stony state. The coarse and unyielding materiality of the stone transcends its weathered history to manifest as a unique object.
