Wind

"Wind showcases the newest work by acclaimed Korean photographer, Jungjin Lee." "Known for her meticulous, textural photographic process, Lee brushes liquid emulsion onto the surface of handmade Korean mulberry paper. The texture of the paper and the gestural marks of the brushstroke create a unique, painterly effect, which is beautifully reproduced in this, her first major trade monograph. Wind captures the ethereal quality of its namesake in a series of landscapes dominated by windswept expanses and foreboding cloud formations - panoramas that reveal an adventurous spirit, yet resist casual entry. Man-made objects, such as a dilapidated school bus or wind-blown prayer flags, frequently appear marked by powerful, invisible elements. Metaphors for an interior state of being and the forces that shape it, Lee's landscapes are imbued with an elemental vastness, at once powerful and serene." "A preface by Vicki Goldberg offers insight into Lee's background and discusses the essential nature of the landscape, which communicates not merely its surface, but resonates within our deepest cultural and individual being. And, an essay by Eugenia Parry addresses the tension inherent in symbolizing what cannot be seen, exploring what absorbs the silent viewer and leads to worlds beyond the senses." --Book Jacket.
