Haeun Lim
Haeun Lim works between painting, print, and time-based media to trace how water keeps a record. Her tidal landscapes and cast objects hold the residue of estuaries and harbor walls, treating sediment, salt, and standing water as a form of writing. The work asks what a place remembers after the tide withdraws.
