Soo Kim

Soo Kim is a Korean-American artist. She was born in South Korea in 1969 and moved to Los Angeles in 1980. She earned a B.A. from the University of California, Riverside, and a MFA from California Institute of the Arts.[1] Kim lives in Los Angeles and is on the faculty at Otis College of Art and Design.[2] Kim often employs techniques of cutting and layering in order to introduce areas of absence or disruption in what we tend to take for granted—the interpretation of photographic images."[3]
