Directory

Juyon Lee is a South-Korean born artist based in Boston, Massachusetts. With her interest in limits and fluidity in perception of time and space, Lee makes multidimensional works composed of functional and nonfunctional objects with ethereal materials like light and air. She experiences light not only as an essential material, but also an existing condition of life that one relies on to perceive, navigate, and communicate in the world. Through this use of light, her work embodies its own processual quality and materiality.
