Chosil Kil

' Living with Andis' (installation detail)


' Living with Andis' (installation detail)

Chosil Kil, an artist from South Korea is showing work at Riflemaker in London until Monday 23 April. The show consists of three Monuments that Kil has created, as a result of meeting a Latvijan man called Andis, who she went on to live with in Copenhagen. The piece I loved was a pile of drawers (pictured above), each containing letters and photographs about her experience of meeting Andis. The fact that he came from Latvija was key to my personal reaction to this piece because of my Grandmother who was also Latvijan. I also loved Kil's pieces of furniture that she had carved text into, her work features textiles and embroidery too.
