Sisan Lee(b.1995) explores how materials found in the surrounding environment can be expanded within new contexts. He collects a range of materials, including stone, wood, marble, and metal, and takes the inherent qualities of each material, as well as the traces left by their processes of formation, as the starting point of his work. Through sculptural methods such as casting, rearranging, enlarging, and combining, he preserves the characteristics of the materials while creating new relationships and functions. This investigation extends into sculpture, furniture, and installation.

‹Neo-primitive› series carries forms shaped by nature into new material conditions. It began with the collection of apple tree branches left after pruning in the orchard tended by the artist’s grandmother, and has since expanded to include various trees that bear traces of time and environment. Through casting, the trees are transferred into other materials while retaining their form and surface characteristics, and the curvature and branching structures formed through growth are used as components of furniture and sculpture. The series shows how a personal experience centered on trees can be transformed into material and structure.
