ARTEXPRESS – HSC Visual Arts

• Elissa Kim – Columned Continuum

‘My artworks aim to show an appreciation of traditional craft, highlighting the lack of it in the modern world today. The different figures embody the significance of history and culture, as it lies within architecture (pillars) representative of that specific time. The use of pillars as the main structure is pertinent as it allows incorporation of patterns and decorous style which are important in representing a period’s values and beliefs. Other than the physical aspect, the pillars hold a metaphorical significance, as it holds connotations of being the supporting system and structure of bigger structures like how old time architecture supports and builds the foundation of what surrounds us today. The large scale of my panels aim to be confronting and eye-opening, criticising how less and less of the emotional, cultural and historical value is represented and appreciated in modern society.’
– Elissa Kim (Year 12)
