This catalogue presents a comprehensive overview of the work of celebrated American sculptor Catherine Lee. It focuses on the artist's work since 1985 and explores the point at which her work began to deploy pure threedimensional space through the powerful use of materials, colour and form. Lee's works are a hybrid of painting, sculpture and installation, in which she juxtaposes the simplicity of a repeated form with a richness of materials, such as wax, iron, bronze, ceramic and fibreglass resin. Although Lee's work has always been purely abstract in form, she states that things like "stone circles in Ireland, African masks and Native American pictographs are all to varying degrees abstract to us, simply because we don't fully know their original significance; and yet, they are potent as art objects".
