Winter Gyeoul Kim
Winter Gyeoul Kim uses painting to explore what’s visible in our world and to imagine connections with what’s invisible. She questions how our world, beyond just its surface appearance, relates to the world beyond. Recently, she’s been intrigued by the uniqueness that individuals acquire through the language of translation and handwriting.
Winter Gyeoul Kim has exhibited work at project space SARUBIA; HITE Collection; and SPACE SO, all in Seoul, among others.

Alma Visscher
Alma Louise Visscher creates fabric-based installations, jewelry and drawings that consider resources and material culture and the poetic possibilities and problems within these. Through process and materials, she explores the intersection of materiality and the unknowable, the ecology of places, and the things that hold us, care for us, and comfort us. These motivations have led her to explore materials such as working with natural dyes and inks sourced from her immediate environments and repurposed textiles and materials.
Alma Louise Visscher has exhibited work at Art Gallery of Alberta, Alberta; Idea Exchange. Ontario; Kimura Gallery, Alaska, among others.
