Jimin Lee
Jimin Lee is a multidisciplinary artist based in London and Seoul. Trained in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins and Fashion Media at London College of Fashion, her work explores memory, time, and emotional landscapes using layered materials like Hanji (Korean paper), sand, and pigment. She blends tactile textures with visual storytelling and creates quiet reflections on impermanence and coexistence. Her practice includes installation, photography, and moving image, focusing on how art can engage everyday spaces and connect personal and collective histories across generations.
This collection features two works from my ongoing Hwado series and two new pieces from my emerging Sea collection. The Hwado series explores memory and time through layered Hanji, sand, and pigment. The built-up layers of colour and texture tactilely reveal personal and collective histories, delicately expressing the materiality of time.
The new Sea collection is inspired by the cyclical and repetitive motion of waves and the traces they leave behind, marks carved into stones and sand. It investigates flow, change, and the endless nature of life. Through layered materials and colour, it reflects on impermanence and coexistence, inviting viewers to experience time as a living, breathing force.
Together, these series engage in a dialogue between stillness and movement, past and present, unfolding layered emotional landscapes.
