Gobi Desert Skeletons Inspire Artist

Kim traveled to the Gobi Desert in Mongolia in September as one of 10 artists participating in the 2009 International Desert Art Project. The project is a triennial event that began in 2006 in Las Vegas to bring art into new settings.

While in the desert, Kim became fascinated by the skeletons she found and she began drawing on them. When she returned to Korea, she brought the pieces with her, and they are part of this exhibit.

“I was inspired by all the skeletons lying around the Gobi Desert and started drawing on them with an ink pen,” Kim said.

“The Passage I,” one of the 32 works in the exhibition, is a piece drawn on the skeleton of a horse with an ink pen.
