Slow Burn, 2022
Sandra Eula Lee is a multidisciplinary artist who transforms familiar objects and materials to disrupt assumptions related to permanence. She questions fixed states and orientation, sometimes reframing her materials and at other times altering their chemistry through the application of heat, fire, or fermentation.
Lee often uses industrial materials in her sculptures, including bricks, concrete, electrical wire and other materials of construction. She recombines them with hand-made forms in her sculptures and installations, exploring changes made to the built environment. For this presentation, Lee creates a new version of her
Portable Pond, inspired by the ponds located within East Asian gardens. She conceives the garden as a space of contemplation, reflecting its surroundings.
