ABOUT
ABOUT
Jamie Lee is a Korean-American New York State based artist exploring identity politics, spirituality, and culture through elements of Korean folk art, religion, and the mythological. Jamie’s practice indulges in the use of sculptural metal casting, ephemeral material, ceramics, and performance art to simulate a dynamic space for discussion about the consumption, creation, and culture of identity and social justice through contemporary art.
