Drawing from life experience as an artist and her love of art history, Lee Crisp looks at the contemporary lives of women from the perspective of the embodied subject. Lee explores agency, strength, sensuality and sexuality as lived by mature women.
Lee is reclaiming the female nude as her own. She is also claiming the history of women artists and their perspectives, which are often different from the mainstream of the art world.
Watercolour, once confined as a women's medium has been changed through scale and presence to become a playful and powerful channel also translating into freely drawn watercolours.
Two pivots of the visual arts are sight (perception) and touch (tactility). This enables an awareness of other senses to create an embodied knowledge of the world around you and inside you. Interoception, being aware of and acknowledging internal sensation is an important factor.
Lee has a vast history of teaching life drawing to perceive the human condition. Starting as a quiet young feminist in 1975 and relishing the intellectual freedom Canberra offered without a women artist's roadmap! Maturity brings its own ease and frankness.
