  • Jae Won Lee
rdfs:comment
  • Lee’s works serve as a means to express and internally reconcile her two dichotomous cultural worlds. Being Korean, but living in the US, she finds that neither place is her home. Lee says that her “…sense of ‘home’ is a spectrum of emotions…of yearning for belonging, wholeness, and rootedness.” The possibility that these two worlds might coexist is embedded deeply in her work. To her, “…art is a reflection of the human experience.”

  • Lee’s works serve as a means to express and internally reconcile her two dichotomous cultural worlds. Being Korean, but living in the US, she finds that neither place is her home. Lee says that her “…sense of ‘home’ is a spectrum of emotions…of yearning for belonging, wholeness, and rootedness.” The possibility that these two worlds might coexist is embedded deeply in her work. To her, “…art is a reflection of the human experience.” Lee’s work is meditative in both the ways it is made and conceived. Her journal is an essential part of her creative process. For her, writing is a solitary act of contemplation that distills her ideas to the most essential forms. The same applies in her studio life; working is a solitary act. The obsessive nature of her work, especially with making multiples, creates a meditative space that is vital in her work. The effect is forms like hundreds of bundles of tiny needles--like porcelain coils or a row of wafer-thin porcelain discs. Her forms are reduced to the “ultimate necessities” and hark back to minimalist and formalist work. The reductive nature of her work makes important every undulation, the subtle variation, and the “slightest twitch in the nervous system."
