Annie Lee

The common objects of everyday life take on new meaning through the interpretations of artist Annie Lee. Also utilizing the screen-printing method, Annie achieves a lacquer look by applying often 10 or more layers of ink on birch wood blocks, giving new meaning to daily life. "Through this process, I capture images of mundane objects that can be seen in everyday life. The common, the ordinary, we often forget their presence, we ignore them for more pressing and important items and activities but these forgotten are the essence of our modernity. In my work, each object becomes the (re)focus of the audiencešs attention, for a moment, sometimes-even longer."
