DAVID KIME

David Kime began writing poetry when voices commanded him to write a book. Later that year, he had a vision prompting him to build a wearable sculpture which he calls “Deeva Goddess.” He says, “art has given me a reason to live and has been a catharsis for dealing with bipolar disorder.”

Now 40 years old, he produces a literary “zine” called “Transcendent Visions” and a political essay “zine” called “Crazed Nation.” Both give voice to people with mental disabilities.

Kime’s sculptures of wire, yarn, melted crayons and doll heads have been exhibited in previous SURVEY exhibits at The Gallery at HAI. Kime exhibits regularly in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
