Hi, I’m Soorin Shin. I’m
a visual artist and designer. I work with digital technologies such as 3D modelling and 3D printing, alongside hands-on practices in metalwork, castings and light installations.
I studied design at the Design Academy Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and later graduated from the Glasgow School of Art with a Fine Arts degree. I’m now based in Glasgow and founded Wobbly Digital in 2021, a 3D printing studio where my journey between design and art came together in one place.
I fuse organic forms with a contemporary digital twist. With Wobbly Digital, I make a variety of 3D printed designs: lightings, mirrors and vases, inspired by natural elements such as intertwining roots, spiky horns, and smooth pebbles. Opposing the cold, sharp-edged digital stereotype, my work embraces curvy, voluptuous, and wonky forms. My visual aesthetics explore the ambiguous border between the digital and physical worlds, interrogating the relationship between technology and nature.
My artist practice delves further into this theme, investigating nature's depiction in historical and cultural artefacts, especially those related to women. One example is Radiating Motherhood, an illuminating sculpture series inspired by Norigae, a traditional Korean women’s accessory—a tassel charm featuring natural elements such as flowers, animals, and coral. Passed down from mothers to daughters, it served as a token of motherhood. LED lighting is embedded behind the 3D-printed light shade, shaped from intricate knots of Norigae, symbolising the eternal warmth of motherhood.
Driven by my eco-feminist ideals, I have increasingly adopted recycled materials into my work. For instance, the 3D-printed parts of Radiating Motherhood are made entirely from recycled plastics, and the metal structures are crafted from scrap steel.
