Jennie Jieun Lee is an artist based in New York state, USA. She is known for richly textured ceramics covered in abstract paintings and an array of objects including wheel-thrown, hand-altered vessels, masks and slip cast busts with morphing and multipart features that mimic, articulate and navigate emotional and psychological spaces.
“In developing my ceramic sculpture piece for the 2022 Alexander McQueen special project based on a chosen look from the Autumn/Winter 2022 women’s pre-collection, I brought the method of initially throwing several vessels on the wheel, combining them together to make a tall vessel in the wet stage and then, post the initial bisque, firing- glazing the surfaces as if to imitate the arresting red leather dress worn by the model Wang in the look book provided to me. With clay, I added my interpretation of the sterling four-ring attached to the classic red leather clutch to the top and sides of the piece of the vessel, finishing it with a reflective palladium glaze. Combining the intoxicating features of the leather dress which is steeped in hues of dyed reds to deep burgundy, along with the metallic aspects of the ring onto the body of the ceramic work, I hope to invoke the emotions felt by the woman who gets to wear this chosen garment in her life’s moments.”
Vessel of Wang: glazed porcelain, Jennie Jieun Lee, 2022.
To illustrate the fact that creativity emerges from countless perspectives, Alexander McQueen invites a group of twelve artists to express their individual working practices inspired by the Autumn/Winter 2022 women’s pre-collection.
