Forest
The forest is where our thoughts and imaginations dwell.
산비둘기숲은 불현듯 스며드는 발견이 머무는 자리입니다.
숲은 고요히 우리의 내면을 들어주고, 산비둘기는 숨겨져 있다가 모습을 드러냅니다.
흐르고, 쌓이고, 차곡차곡… 그리고 어느 순간 산비둘기는 나타납니다.
Turtledove Forest is where quietly sudden discoveries linger.
The forest hushes and hears our inner life; what’s hidden-Turtledove-comes into view.
It flows, it gathers, it settles in tidy layers… and then, all at once, Turtledove appears.
Encounters
Moments of sudden discovery within the forest.

MiMi Lee
The gardener
이영미는 노스캐롤라이나를 기반으로 활동하는 다학제적 예술가로, 미국 콜럼버스 예술디자인대학(Columbus College of Art and Design)에서 순수미술 석사 학위를 받았다. 그녀의 작업은 일상적인 사물을 활용하지만, 일상에서 직접적인 서사를 끌어내는 방식은 지양한다. 대신 형태와 움직임을 통해 그것들을 추상화하여 보편성에 대한 더 깊은 감각을 탐색한다.
