Starting in 2001, Byron Kim engaged in a project to make a single painting every week. In this ongoing series entitled Sunday Paintings, Kim has looked upward and painted a patch of sky on a 14x14 inch canvas, inscribing a short journalistic entry in pen or pencil, and marking the specific place and time. This project is currently ongoing.
