May 10, 2008, Sumita Kim


Sumita Kim, future chair of the art department at Montgomery College, spoke May 10 
 
Her lecture, “One Has to Forge One’s Own Path,” offered us an introspective journey through her art. Professor Kim spoke of two forces that face most artists: the need to follow one’s artistic instincts and desires and the struggle between the demands of everyday life versus your art.
She explained that pain, struggle, control and self-doubt are motivating forces behind her work. Her abstracts, in particular, illustrate a soft visual texture in contrast to the harshness and reality of life.

Her latest work is comprised of soft sculpture. She is currently incorporating photography as another medium to express her art.
