Rin is an interdisciplinary artist based in San Francisco working with painting, pastel, and sound.
At the core of her work is the discovery of lines and shapes found in birdsong spectrograms. These shapes are chosen carefully and pieced together into compositions as a means of carrying or facilitating color. She uses birdsong to study color because it is something that exists and is true; that doesn't already possess color, allowing for complete freedom to explore color as it develops with the composition.
Rin's work converses with ideas of transcription, improvisation, sound, movement, and rhythm. There are also elements of connectivity, perception, subjectivity, Space, breath, rest. Vibrations, echoes, and reverberation.
Rin studied classical piano and the history of art at Furman University in Greenville, SC.
