"Kim makes intricate drawings teeming with abstract forms derived from missiles, mushroom clouds, warplanes, parachutes, aliens and UFOs. Though filled with military imagery, the works maintain a sense of playfulness. there is a lack of gravity about them- not only do the forms float gracefully across the picture plane, but Kim seemds to have lighthearted fascination with these shapes, repeating them over and over again. Kim displays a childlike delight with outer space and concern form and content." Jessica Ostrower, March 2004, Art in America
