Artist: Um Gi Lee
“Mapping the world is a way to visualize the connections between you and I and the world and I.”
Um-Gi Lee is a Korean-born senior studying conceptual sculpture and model-making. After two years of study at the Korean National University of the Arts, she came to MICA to study sculpture and 3D design. Um-Gi’s studio work regularly engages concepts of scale and time. She is also deeply interested in exploring her identity as an Asian woman practicing art in a Western world. She credits her parents, a cartoonist and animator, for her interest and talent in the arts.
