Kim Radochia

Artist Kim Radochia immerses us in the moment with creations that capture movement and energy. Her intense process of making, exploring materials and connecting to place has led to inventive, vibrant artworks that convey fragility and strength.

In 2010 through an open competition, Trinity Financial, Boston, MA awarded her a commission for an atrium sculpture called ‘Currents’ at Appleton Mills in Lowell, MA. In 2011 she was featured in Art New England as three sculptors to watch in an article titled, Setting the Pace by David Raymond.

Kim’s art is represented by Casco Bay Artisans Gallery, Portland, ME and Matthew Swift Gallery, Gloucester, MA.

“My art moves fluidly between large site-specific outdoor sculptures, small intimate assemblages room-sized installations, and large, immersive wall reliefs. I work in sculpture and other media to explore visual and physical boundaries that diverse materials can present.
The common themes in every case are pattern, structure and the perception of space as it relates to the timeline of life. My artwork records that space or moment in time while incorporating the movement of energy residing there both human and elemental. Water currents and water lines, patterns of flocking birds called murmurations, and geological formations collect and disperse on my worked surfaces. The structure and patterns of domesticity, family, and history build as stacked forms in metal or hundreds of rocks cast in pulp as an homage to honor women.
My work is inspired by the natural world, time, and a desire to interconnect the spiritual, physical and intellectual.”
