South Korea's chainsaw artist carves a name for herself at 91

South Korean sculptor Kim Yun Shin wields a chainsaw with refining a craft she has honed over decades spent far from home. At Hoam Museum of Art. the solo exhibition, titled "Two Be One", is the institution's first since its founding in 1982 to spotlight some of her signature abstract sculptures hewn from hardwood with her tool of choice.

Hoam is exhibiting about 170 of Kim's sculptures and paintings, reflecting her reverence for nature and blending spirituality with meditations on existence, material and form. Like many women artists of her generation, Kim’s perseverance and lifelong dedication have helped pave the way for subsequent generations of women artists.
