About the Item
West Industrial, 2018, by Liberty Blake. 48 x 46 inches (wood cradle, no frame), assemblage and mixed media.
Artist Statement:
I would describe myself as an abstract collage artist, whose work explores themes of the natural world and human
impact. Collage by definition is an assemblage of different elements, not normally associated with each other. It’s
also a medium that enables me to describe my subject with a material—paper— that itself directly impacts the
natural world by its production. Subsequently, I use mostly found and salvaged paper. Scavenging becomes an
important part of the process and the intentional use of salvaged—wood sourced—paper, underlines the theme
and message of the work.
The majority of my collages—assembled from precisely cut blocks of paper—are abstracted landscapes based on
places I have found while exploring. I always work from memory, sometimes from a view that I see in passing or
from a place which I know very well. This process enables me to create an abstraction of the place, fusing both its
visual aspects and my emotional response to it. I am interested in color relationships, relative scale, and the
challenge of describing natural environments with intentionally undisguised and simple shapes of paper. The
placement and shape of each piece in relation to another is precise and specific. Often purposefully awkward and
uncomfortable, precariously balanced or wedged together to give the impression that they are holding each other
up, creating both tension and balance is essential.

- Inland Crossing 35By Hyunmee LeeLocated in Salt Lake City, UTThe gestural paintings of Hyunmee Lee are sumptuously minimal. Rich forms advance from buttery canvases like an abstract garden. Gauzy veils of paint hover like soft air against the ebony weight of matter. Light peeks through translucent shapes like sunlight illuminating soft mist. Texture swirls and echoes across the canvas as if carved by waves or eroded by the wind. The viewer, invited into a realm of contemplation and meditation, is surprised to look away and see the physical world existing in only three dimensions. But perhaps that is precisely the experience the artist would like the viewer to have. In her current exhibition, Touch, on display at the Phillips Gallery...Category
