Mari Kim
The recurring figure in the work is "Eyedoll," a cartoonish, porcelain-skinned woman known for her large, oval eyes. In Kim's glossy ink on canvas prints, Eyedoll gazes directly from the surface; she wears different costumes and disguises and stands against different backgrounds. As Eyedoll shifts through identities, Kim makes subtle changes to the figure's iris pattern, matching changes in costume to changes in mood. The relentless continuity of her work deals with how identity can be altered through props and fashion, and also shapes a fetishized Asian female identity that is confrontational in its forward-looking nature.
