Host Jack Inslee sits down at the Line LA in Koreatown, Los Angeles, to explore Lee’s journey from childhood crafting to becoming a celebrated sculptor and metalworker. Lee’s work, featured in the exhibitions Curtain for Earrings at the Line LA and Heroes and Protagonists at Gobi in East Hollywood, reimagines everyday objects like nails and earring holders, elevating their overlooked importance.
Through this conversation, conducted entirely in Korean and translated by curator Jenny from Gobi, Lee reflects on her unique artistic process, her fascination with casting metals, and her first use of AI to create “third skin” textures. The discussion delves into her philosophy of breaking down hierarchies, finding value in the small and unseen, and creating a world without dominant or subordinate roles.
