Biography
Seulgi Lee uses techniques from traditional crafts and draws her vocabulary from everyday objects. With their pared-down forms and colours, the works she creates, explore notions of oral transmission, immaterial culture and the language system. Working in close collaboration with craftspeople from different countries, she draws on professional know-how and expertise, gathering stories and motifs, and seeking out collective gestures that span several cultures. She steers her practice towards simple, collaborative actions, regularly inviting the public to take part in making or consuming the works.
