The Path, a new installation by Vivian Hyelim Kim explores visual vocabularies. Transparent and translucent shower curtains are connected and suspended from the ceiling to make a path that invites viewers to walk along and enjoy the visual experience. Diverse materials and methods are used on each shower curtains; they are painted on, drawn on, collaged on, stamped on or cut with materials such as acrylic, hand cut papers, glitters, markers, cellophane, coffee filters, and magnets. Hand cut paper patterns and gold leafs are adhered to the floor so that the viewers can walk on it. The installation is designed to surround one with colors and patterns. The emphasis is on the experience - experiencing colors, patterns, and materials through the path that echoes their sounds.
