Artist Statement
This body of work explores Lee’s physical world through the lens of quilt making: gathering data through drawings, photographs, maps, and GPS renderings of locations and transforming it into evocative, tactile landscapes. The work is inspired by natural and architectural forms and how they yield unexpected outcomes. Each piece is based on a different location, either sourced or happened upon, that is then communicated through sketches and finally textile works.
