480 Queen St
A site-specific suspended installation within the entrance of a commercial mixed-use development located in Brisbane’s CBD. Drawing upon Lee’s cultural influences of Taoist and Buddhist philosophy and cosmology, The outcome is a continuously changing shadow play of light cast across the lobby as conditions shift through the day and night.
Crafted by hand in UAP’s Brisbane workshop, the work is comprised of 5 highly textural large circular elements with individual patterns created by plasma cut openings. Suspended overhead, the work is a highly dramatic and distinctive element of the space, also visible from the outside street to draw in pedestrians. Fabricated in stainless steel, each unique disk produces a continually changing shadow play as light conditions change through the day and night.
