Ian Lee is fascinated by distraction. Since becoming a mother, solitude has fled her life, leaving in its place a bombardment of interruption. Rather than walling her work off, Lee began cataloguing these distractions, cutting out squares that correspond with a moment of interruption, and arranging them within a set time frame. The paper is so delicate that a single moment of inattention can spell disaster. This has taught Lee to be humble, and to approach the process of making as art itself.
