Lauren Lee
Tzung Hui Lauren Lee (b. 1998, Johannesburg) is a South African Chinese artist and a recent graduate of the BA Fine Art programme at the Wits School of Arts in Johannesburg.
Her installation-based practice is embedded in processes of paper-making, calligraphy, sculpture, and is occupied with the translation of two-dimensional mark-making, such as writing, to three-dimensional space.
Lee is deeply influenced by aspects of Chinese philosophy and culture, including traditional Chinese folk art, which she draws on to investigate ideas around diaspora, identity and relationships between the past and the present.
