Pia Kim

Pia Jaeyoon Kim is a textile artist from South Korea based in Europe. Her practice centers on soft sculpture using wool and fibers to explore themes of contact, otherness, and the boundaries between self and non-self.

Drawing from her background in textile studies and teaching experience in fabric design and dyeing, she approaches material as both structure and language. Her works often take on organic, tentacular forms that evoke unfamiliar, speculative organisms, suggesting an alternative ecology shaped by touch and sensation.

Kim’s recent projects develop a continuous narrative world in which soft, fragile materials construct resilient and complex bodies. Through accumulation and entanglement, her sculptures embody a tension between comfort and unease, intimacy and intrusion.

She has participated in exhibitions across Europe and continues to expand her practice through research-based and experimental textile work.
