Bovey Lee

Artist Statement

Bovey Lee’s cut paper explores the tension between man and the environment in the context of power, sacrifice, and survival. These three “motivators,” as she calls them, drive all our desires and behaviors toward one another and the environment. We live in a time when we overdo everything from technology to urbanization to consumption. Her work is informed by our precarious relationship with nature in the twenty-first century, i.e., what we do to the environment with our super machines and technologies and what nature does back to us in reaction.
