Jaeok Lee: Family of All Things at Boston Sculptors Gallery LaunchPad

Jaeok Lee’s exhibition, Family of All Things, features fired clay figurative sculptures. Paired and singular figures interact with each other as Lee explores and celebrates relationships with herself, her family, nature, and the Creator of all things. The sculptures’ surfaces are evocative of stone and incorporate fiber elements with the final addition of colorful glazes. Lee taps into her native Korea’s cultural past and revitalizes traditions with her unique perspective and values. In a happy coincidence, in Korea May is the month of family celebrations.

Jaeok Lee was born in Seoul, Korea and lived in the U.S. for almost 50 years. She maintains studios in Sudbury, MA and Wailuku, HI.  Lee holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from University of Massachusetts focused on visual arts.
