How much complicated paper-cut can be? Bovey Lee (previous) just raise my bar again and again. After moved from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles and get inspired by two diiferent countries’ living styles, Bovey Lee created a new serires of paper artworks to display the features and landscapes of her old and new lives as if twisted together on the spiraling tracks of rollercoasters. Cut by hand from Chinese xuan paper, the pieces depict collisions of skyscrapers and flower bouquets, buffalos carrying mountainous stacks of suitcases, or wedding cakes are surrounded by storm clouds. As Bovey said, “In these works, I draw parallels between one’s romantic relationship and our relationship with nature. While seeking balance, eternity, stability, and harmony in both relationships, the journey we take on are often complex, dramatic, changing, and lopsided. But there is also incredible beauty, energy, richness, and even whimsy in chaos and imperfections through the ups and downs, and trial and error.”
