Review:
Bovey Lee has created drawings, paintings and digital prints in which she explores issues of identity and the exploration of her own identity as a Hong Kong Chinese living in America. All the floating imageries and weightless objects in her drawings, which are depicted in a transitional mode flying and floating on different picture planes, express the artist's own feelings of displacement and confusion. In her recent digital prints and photographs that she has produced since 1995, the artist has tried to deconstruct and reconstruct her body by transforming her own body parts into landscape and still life that she has shown both her intention to demonstrate the increasingly intertwined and inseparable combination of nature, humanity and technology and her critical perspective on the moral issues surrounding the fabrication of multiple identities in cyberspace. Available research materials of Bovey Lee in the AAAC Archives are 48 slides, a invitation card and six colored prints created by the artist herself. Reviewed by Young Park
