Reconfiguring the Ordinary: Twist Looped and Linked
Materials ： Veclro Hook and loop fasteners

Providence, Rhode Island—Friday July 20, 2012—Niche award winning jewlery artist Yong Joo Kim today launched a Kickstarter project to introduce a new line of jewelry made primarily of hand-cut, hand-assembled, and hand-sewn Velcro hook-and-loop fasteners.

Yong Joo describes the design of her new line consisting of earrings, rings, brooches, and bracelets as having emerged from a deep sense of trust in the hidden potential of a seemingly ordinary material. She compares this process as being similar to that of the kind of trust she was endowed with by her parents.

The line is being introduced as part of a larger project titled Sublime Experiment, a small business platform designed to explore how artists can more proactively engage with the public in order to provoke meaningful questions around conventional notions of beauty and value.

The project will live on the Kickstarter website until Sep 18, 2012 with the goal of raising $10,000 to cover the production of custom eco-friendly packaging for the objects as well as custom tooling for the silver earring posts.

Reconfiguring the Ordinary : Twist Looped and Attached
Materials: Veclro Hook and loop fasteners, Thread
Modeled by Olivia Culpo / Photography by Daniel Gagnon

Think of beans, straws, pins, nails, velcro, snaps, cable ties, and electric caps. Theseobjects are not normally considered beautiful or valuable. I explore the value of such mundaneobjects, and discover their hidden beauty through a process of reconfiguration. Think of thevelcro: a long strip of rough, bland, and industrial object, seen on shoes, bags, watches, and atthe grocery store. As I pay close attention to it and its system of organization in myenvironment, I find new ways of looking, new ways of decomposing and composing them, andnew ways of creating a relationship between it and our body. My work introducesunconventional use of familiar artifacts into a world full of conventions.

By assembling, grouping, clustering, and piling, the simple elements become complex, and give rise to the unexpected. As the wearer approaches my work, the experience of perspective shifts and sudden realizations spark wonder, discovery, tension, joy and play.

My investigation of creation, innovation, and transformation questions the definition of value, and provides a never-ending field for invention.
