“Map of Mumbling Red,” (mixed media), by Jeesoo Lee, in her show “Pung-Gyeong Moving Scenery,’’ at Kingston Gallery, Boston, through June.
The galley says:
‘‘In the process of layering, cutting, and reattaching materials, Jeesoo Lee combines passing moments in time and the physical spaces in which they have occurred…She captures the fleetingness of memory. Lee weaves poignant recollections such as ‘the sound of a young son’s laughter when he opens his eyes in the morning’ or ‘the anguish of a friend who has unexpectedly lost a loved one’. The work portrays these moments, both the intense and the mundane, to combine and form ever-evolving landscapes. Her work is based on psychological states of being which are then redefined through the physicality of her material. This deconstruction/construction of her imagery investigates the search for meaning and understanding. The result is intricate collage-like fabric pieces that ‘live and breath.’’’
