... Filipino and Anglo-Australian ancestry. Through her art, Lee explores language, labels, and objects, examining how they each intersect to create or challenge the concept of identity. Using art to explore and celebrate her many overlapping identities, Lee works across sculpture, installation, and body adornment. Lee is represented by MARS Gallery in Melbourne. Selected exhibitions and awards: Melbourne Now, 2023. NGV Australia, Melbourne. TarraWarra Biennial, 2023. Healesville. Old Flame, 2022. MARS Gallery, Melbourne. Light of an Invasive ...Jenna Lee dissects and reconstructs colonial 'Indigenous dictionaries' and embeds the works with new cultural meaning. Long obsessed with the duality of the destructive and healing properties that fire can yield, this element has been applied to the paper in the forms of burning and mark-making. In Without Us, Lee uses charcoal to conceal the text on the page, viewing this process as a ritualistic act of reclaiming and honouring Indigenous heritage while challenging the oppressive legacies of colonialism. Lee explains in Art Guide (2022), ‘These books in particular [used to create the proposed works] are Aboriginal language dictionaries—but there’s no such thing as “Aboriginal language”. There are hundreds of languages. The dictionary just presents words, with no reference to where they came from. It was specifically published by collating compendiums from the 1920s, 30s and 40s, with the purpose to give [non-Indigenous] people pleasant sounding Aboriginal words to name children, houses and boats. And yet the first things that were taken from us was our language, children, land and water. And the reason our words were so widely written down was because [white Australians] were trying to eradicate us. They thought we were going extinct. The deeper you get into it, the darker it gets. But the purpose of my work is to take those horrible things and cast them as something beautiful.’Framed artwork -
