FEATURED ARTIST: Lucy Kim

Lucy Kim (b. 1978, Seoul, Korea, lives and works in Massachusetts) incorporates plastic and aluminum foil casts of people, animals, and objects into her relief paintings, often distorting the recognizable by manipulating the materials during the mold-making and casting process. She developed this method to merge the representational lineage and plasticity of painting with indexical impressions of the people and objects around her. The visceral distortions - flattening, unfolding, stretching, and enlarging - are attempts at physically mimicking manipulations commonly used in photographic images, the literalness usually leading to eerie humor. Drawn from both her personal life and popular media, the work engages with the entangled relationship between the two and forces the compression of image and subject.

Kim received her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2001 and her MFA from the Yale School of Art in 2007. She has been a fellow at the Yale Norfolk Summer School of Art and Music and the MacDowell Colony, and a participant at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Her work has been featured at Lisa Cooley, New York; Mon Chéri, Brussels; Flash Art NY Desk, New York; Regina Rex, Queens; Ortega y Gasset Projects, Brooklyn; Tiger Strikes Asteroid, Philadelphia; Field Projects, New York; Wassaic Project, Wassaic and others. She is a founding member of the collaborative kijidome. She has an upcoming solo exhibition at Lisa Cooley in 2015.

My old friend

i feel satisfied that i left all my past behind... 

Elder Scrolls Lore: Names

I recently realized that I have been ignorant of the names of other races besides those of the Dark Elves/Dunmer and the Argonians/Saxhleel. I named characters as I wished, and looking back on them now, I realize the names I chose were pretty stereotypical and, frankly, rude in the world of Elder Scrolls.

For instance, I named my Khajiit character “Miranjri” which sounds Khajiit-like, but it’s not an actual name a Khajiit would have. In fact, I’m pretty sure that name is completely meaningless to the Khajiit.

So, as a present for my now 1,000 followers, I’m starting a series of posts about the lore-friendly rules to go by when naming your characters. Starting with the Khajiit, I’ll have a post for each race and I’ll link each post to this one as I go. The series will also be tagged #eslorenames. I hope you enjoy. :)
