Moon in a Dew Drop: Lindy Lee

Lindy Lee is one of the most respected contemporary artists working in Australia today. Influential Australian Chinese artist  Lee explores identity, history, spirituality and our relationship to the cosmos. She creates meditative works using light, shadow and scale across many artforms. Moon in a Dew Drop takes an in-depth look at four decades of extraordinary practice.

Working across a range of disciplines including painting, sculpture, installation and public art, Lee draws on her Australian and Chinese heritage to develop works that engage with the history of art, cultural authenticity, personal identity and the cosmos. Key influences are the philosophies of Daoism and Ch’an (Zen) Buddhism, which explore the connections between humanity and nature.

Maxxi May chats with Lindy Lee and Chris Malcolm, director of the John Curtin Gallery.
