Part of the artist's breakthrough was piercing the cloth surface with a needle rather than playing over it with a paint brush.

"I had an exuberant thrilling moment, as if the whole of the universe was hitting my head, passing through my body and hands, to the point where the fabric meets the needle."  Kimsooja

    ah such beautiful words for that delicious moment of piercing the cloth with a very sharp needle and then that satisfying sound of the thread pulling through

      I had a good look through her website yesterday, related deeply to her words about the work and other people's words about the work much more than the works themselves...
