Shin hea lim holds a solo exhibition 'As Time Goes Rain Falls' at Laheen Gallery in Seoul.

Shin is a Korean craft artist who considers the complex relationships that form between people and people, and between people and objects. She expresses the accumulated flow of time in her work under the theme of 'As Time Goes Rain Falls', the exhibition name.

The artist installs square flat works in the underground exhibition hall to show how repetition is directly connected to temporality. She wraps the metal until she forms a line and repeats the process of stacking these lines dozens of times to complete the work. The artist calls the work 'object for wall'.

She also presents works using brooch ornaments made of paintings. She wraps and compresses the canvas fabric of her painting on the theme of rain, collects it into a metal frame, and processes it into a flat shape. The brooch made in this way gives the jewelry a new value so that it is attached to a wall, not the chest, and functions as an object to be seen.

Shin also carried out more concrete work to expand the use of crafts. She gives meaning to the space by installing small objects made of metal, especially silver, and linear operations that connect slenderly in the space of the interior margin. These installed objects create a new dimension in a space.

The artist also presents works that focus on femininity. She produced jewelry and flat works using objects that are considered to be closely related to women by social stereotypes, such as grains of rice, spoons, and threads. She uses these small everyday objects to capture the life, relationships, and inner voice that she reflects.

The exhibition will be held at the Lauren Gallery in Yongsan-gu, Seoul until the 13th.
