Paul Lee — plywood plinth, towel, glass, light bulb
Paul Lee

plywood plinth, towel, glass, light bulb

A deceptively simple assemblage of everyday objects, Paul Lee's work arranges a plywood plinth, towel, glass, and light bulb into a quietly poetic still life that elevates the mundane to the level of sculpture. The piece invites contemplation of domestic familiarity and the subtle relationships between utilitarian objects when removed from their ordinary context. Lee's restrained composition suggests an interest in minimalism and the charged potential of ordinary things to carry unexpected meaning.
