Artist Statement
"I create works that examine how memories are constructed and recalled. Snapshots of gatherings, celebrations, and other notable moments are translated into detailed line drawings and then overlaid to create semi-abstract compositions. These new images display a somewhat mysterious yet subtlety familiar space that holds a collision of diluted symbolism and traces of nostalgia. The source photographs are the results of our attempts to record an experience. They create a catalyst for recall. However, the recollection in our mind is unique. By layering multiple images, I represent the phases I believe are used to develop these memories: the perception manufactured from expectation, the details recorded from experience, and the incompletely distinct recollection. The integrated result that becomes our memory is influenced and over written by different bits of information created from each of these steps. My works leverage this internal process by using visual insinuation to simultaneously present the individually meaningful moment and the universally shared familiar experience."

About the Work
This work required a month of full-time work to create. Lee's process is laborious and includes several steps: selecting images from her massive archive, manipulating them digitally, composition, printing the composition to scale, hand drawn transfer to panel (which was prepped with a minimum of six layers of hand sanded gesso and pigment), and, finally, painting using very small brushes.
The panel was crafted by Simon Liu, Inc. of Brooklyn. It is made of furniture grade birch plywood held by a double cradle of basswood. Urban Sweetheart also has a french cleat installed for easy hanging. The paint is Golden Fluid and Heavy Body Acrylics and Golden gesso. less
