Lee currently works mainly with drawings and prints. The processes the artist uses to make the drawings are from distortions from the camera lens and human error in copying from photographs. These are techniques Lee uses to create domestic spaces that are slightly off. The notions of the uncanny are drawn from Julia Kristeva’s Powers of Horror essay (1980), where she discusses the abject and the reactions of bodily substances that create a breakdown between the subject experienced internally and the materials the body is made up of.

The tentacles that invade the domestic spaces embody properties that are swept aside from social desirability. Spiders’ legs and the hairiness of the tentacles are juxtaposed with the clean spaces of the apartments, houses and the gallery reflected from decorated surfaces of mirrors.

The oval mirrors depart from 18th century portraiture and the conventions of portraiture that presents itself in the behaviour of viewers in gallery spaces. The stance of the viewer and the stance of the figures in portraits translates to as being subjected to the gaze.

The works also look at the tensions of the different materials and processes, as well as the symbolism of these processes and materials. These ideas were influenced by Helen Chadwick and Andrea Hasler’s ideas to examining the tensions between binaries.
