After a career as a florist, Suhee Kim discovered clay and trained as a ceramicist.
“Working with clay allows me to better understand the very origin of flowers, their essential source. I like to imagine plants while designing the shape of the vases that will hold them, exploring a synergy between container and content. The discovery of ceramics has enriched my floral practice, opening up new possibilities for harmonizing these two elements in a shared creative impulse.”
She lives and works in Paris.
