  • “All paper is originally white and dyed in diverse kinds of colours for each work… Dyed paper has its own unintended gradation and irregularity, which can be found all over nature. It helps create the different texture and contrast of colours that are quite distinct from the mixture of paint… After the dyeing process, a combination of different paper sheets are rolled and cut by the required various sizes for each work. Rolled paper becomes extremely durable and you cannot cut it even by a knife. Heavy paper cutting machines are used for the cutting process. People regard paper as fragile, but rolled paper becomes quite close to tender wood… I keep the process open until the last second, while I listen to the whispering of the paper units.”
    — Ilhwa Kim
