Sophia Allison and Leanne Lee: Passage

ICA Front Windows May 31st to October 31st 2015 Sophia Allison and Leanne Lee: Passage ICA Front Windows Passage by Sophia Allison and Leanne Lee is composed of used coffee filters that have been dried, ironed, color treated and stitched together into organic forms. The artists arrange the forms into clusters to create an installation reminiscent of a floral environment. For Passage, the artists intermixed stained coffee filters and hand-drawn patterns on torn rice paper. In addition to the botanical imagery found in both artists’ individual oeuvre, the piece references landscapes from Allison’s work as well as Korean symbols and motifs common in Lee’s work.
