Bovey Lee

Sewing Highways, 2011. Cut paper Chinese xuan (rice) paper on silk, 25 in by 21 in.

Bovey Lee was born in Hong Kong and is based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. Working with cut paper, she explores the tension between man and the environment in the context of power, sacrifice, and survival. Her work is informed by our precarious relationship with nature in the twenty-first century, i.e., what we do to the environment with our super machines and technologies and what nature does back to us in reaction. boveylee.com
