Davidson Galleries is pleased to introduce Moon Lee in Finding Home: A Selection of My Observations and Experiences. This exhibition features a selection of Lee’s recent works from 2018 to 2022. Lee combines traditional printmaking techniques including etching, drypoint, and chine-collé with hand-work like watercolor pen and monoprint techniques. Often created as one-of-one prints, Lee’s pieces explore repeated imagery and ideas over several iterations. This selection of work addresses issues of relocation, isolation, and a greater sense of home, especially as called into question by the pandemic and urban life. Through the artist’s singular experiences, a common human experience is reexamined.

An unresolved concept of home and belonging are at the forefront of pieces like Happy Houses and Thinking About Childhood 2. Lee revisits personal milestones and their memories, often layering past and present. The artist’s journey includes locations like Tuscany, Italy and Volunteer Park in Seattle. It includes cars, phones and the technology of modern, urban life. Tied to the Phone and Middle of the Storm call attention to our mediated lives and interference in our person-to-person interactions. The exhibition contains darkness, beauty, separation, connection, and a range of experiences all reviewed by the artist in search of a new concept of home.
