In celebration of Asian Pacific Islander Desi American Heritage Month, Escalette Director, Fiona Shen, joins Hong Kong-born artist Bovey Lee, to discuss the imagery of migration and the freedom of creative practice.<\/p>\n

FS<\/em><\/strong>: So much of your imagery is airborne. I\u2019ve noticed paper airplanes, balloons, streamers in the wind and birds, waves, sail boats, and animals and insects dependent on wind for migration. Can you talk more about this?<\/em><\/p>\n

BL<\/strong>: It\u2019s so interesting you pointed out all these airborne motifs, and they are a collection over many years, but when I look back at my work, I think they basically started after I moved to the US. What is interesting to me is how much I identify myself with this imagery. I mean, I love trees, mountains, things that are planted into the ground, but I relate myself, or my experience, with images that are in flight, that are suspended, that are floating, or constantly moving.<\/p>\n

I think that is a space I am most comfortable with \u2013 that the space between lands is where I find myself most inspired. To me, that space represents adventure, a kind of unknown, whether it is through, for example, sail boats and airplanes (images that are directional, that have a destination, that imply in your mind you are setting out on a voyage or journey and you know where you want to head). Or whether it is more free-floating, like the balloons or paper boats, that on their own can\u2019t go places because they don\u2019t have a navigation system. They more or less just exist in the air wherever the wind blows them. So I find that these two states \u2013 a more conscious state of mind, and a more unconscious state \u2013 to be freeing. I think it has so much to do with the freedom I\u2019m seeking in my own life. The only way to find that in my own experience is not to be completely set into the ground. I think this imagery speaks volumes to that when I look back. Because they\u2019ve been so consistent, year after year. The airborne imagery is even a bit autobiographical; if you see yourself in your work, that\u2019s where I see myself.<\/p>\n

FS<\/em><\/strong>: You have a significant audience here in the United States, and I know that you\u2019ve also had many commissions in Asia. How are these images received in Asia, especially in Hong Kong, where you were born? <\/em><\/p>\n

BL<\/strong>: I feel that in Hong Kong people can relate to these airborne motifs because Hong Kong is such a small island and so densely populated. When people have time, the top thing on their list is to get out, travel. So that idea of travel has been implanted into our collective consciousness over a long time. And being an international port I think solidifies that mindset about the need to go out into the world and see the world. So I believe that the Hong Kong audience really knows where I am coming from, as far as why these images are so persistent in my work.<\/p>\n

I think from the US perspective, I would imagine their interpretation would be closer to one of yours – because I\u2019m an immigrant, it makes sense that of course I\u2019m interested in this imagery that is suspended and in mid-flight, and moved by the bigger things, the invisible force of life, or even the elements, as you\u2019ve said, like the wind or the water, because so much of our journey relies on this, right? We either have to take a boat or a plane to leave our native homeland, to build a new home in this new country. I think the perspective is different between the Hong Kong view and the US view. The sense of travel is not the same as seeking a new home in a foreign country.<\/p>\n

FS<\/em><\/strong>: You grew up in Hong Kong, and have chosen to work in the traditional Chinese art form of paper cutting. I can\u2019t help but think of the Chinese concept of qi, or energy\/breath, and wondered if you feel your wind-borne imagery evokes that?\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

BL:<\/strong> So with Chinese calligraphy, when we first started my teacher taught us how to control our breath, because the breath has so much to do with how the stroke is made on the paper. The ink is permanent, so there\u2019s a lot of mind\/body connection with the breath that we have to learn. When we finish the entire piece of calligraphy, we pin it up and look at it from far away, and what we\u2019re looking for is not whether you wrote all the characters out correctly. What we\u2019re looking at is to evaluate the qi<\/em> of the whole piece \u2013 whether it shows a flow from character to character through the entire artwork. So the qi<\/em> becomes a gold standard for good calligraphy. Somebody could be very good at writing the character with beautiful strokes, but if the whole integrity is not showing on the paper in the form of that flow, that qi<\/em>, that energy, then it would just be technically proficient, but not good calligraphy.<\/p>\n

What was planted in me and in my practice was to learn how to connect my breath when I\u2019m creating my work. I\u2019ve made this correlation many times. When I cut paper, why I am so drawn to it, even through it\u2019s so laborious, is because it connects me to my body and my breath as a living being. I feel so alive when I\u2019m creating cut paper, just like I feel so alive when I am focusing on creating a beautiful piece of calligraphy or art. So I think that sense of presence is so important, and the qi<\/em> is what can bring you there. I think it manifests in the process of cut paper and certainly I hope it translates like a beautiful piece of calligraphy so that when people look at my work, I hope they see a sense of energy, movement and flow that is integral and integrated.<\/p>\n
