It would be interested to see Jee Young Lee's work in 20 years.LC Douglasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04250961297714038453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905155363976375938.post-17220770541785069722013-12-13T19:51:20.324-05:002013-12-13T19:51:20.324-05:00Yes, of course you're right, TB... images crea...Yes, of course you're right, TB... images created in youth do tend to include the artist... as if to say: I'm here, see! Later in the day, the artist becomes the whole image and vice versa - there is no division.<br /><br />Dia Sobin (Araqinta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03398194511342193439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905155363976375938.post-49452872624163184322013-12-12T17:32:24.274-05:002013-12-12T17:32:24.274-05:00I see what you're saying, Dia. Perhaps this as...I see what you're saying, Dia. Perhaps this aspect has to do with the stage at which Jee Young Lee is in her work. Maybe further down the road, she will remove herself from her environments, or include more actors within them. Right now, the work is very self-focussed because she includes herself alone. The dog, caterpillars and birds are signs of her testing that premise.

Perhaps, what I meant is that the spaces, the scenes themselves are comprehensible enough, without the inclusion of a figure. The spectator, without the device of an explanatory prompt and/or prop, can then become that figure, and more fully experience the strikingly rich dreamscapes Jee Young Lee has so convincingly created.<br />Dia Sobin (Araqinta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03398194511342193439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905155363976375938.post-73568371100387519342013-12-11T17:03:05.432-05:002013-12-11T17:03:05.432-05:00Interesting stuff, Tam B!

They look like afterthoughts.<br /><br />Dia Sobin (Araqinta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03398194511342193439noreply@blogger.com
