born in 1971
Healim Shin’s creative ideas transcends the limitation of any material. Her technique surpasses leather, metal, ottchil (lacquer) and more. Furthermore, she is able to work broadly creating one-off art pieces and also making art jewelry. Hours of repeating the same techniques have enabled her to create a wide range of work experimenting with harmony, deconstruction simultaneously as playing with light, shadow and colour. There exists originality and vigor in her work. The making technique is metaphorically translated.
Healim has been selected as the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize Finalist 2023.
Her work is in the collection of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Korea, and the Seoul Museum of Craft Art.
