First Dolly, and now Yayoi Kusama? I truly have no words. I will eventually, but not today. Sigh. For now, let’s take a minute and escape into this lovely world created by one of my favorite artists, Miju Lee:
I want to lie on the grass and study mushrooms with a little yeti… I also want to buy a fresh scoop of chocolate chip mint for that guy. This fantastic installation, titled “Those Who Crossed the Mountain”, was shown at Marc Biblioni Gallery in Madrid this past spring. Here is an excerpt from the curatorial text by Victoria Rivers:
“… In “Más allá de la montaña - 산을 넘은 자들 - Those Who Crossed the Mountain”, Miju Lee reimagines the figure of the Yeti not as a mythical creature to be discovered, but as an ancestral presence inhabiting a world of its own. Suspended between the human and the non-human, the familiar and the unknown, these beings exist in a state of continuous transformation. Porous, elusive, and deeply connected to nature, memory, and myth.
Through painting, sculpture, and installation, Lee constructs an immersive environment where viewers no longer observe from a distance, but enter a living territory shaped by dreamlike and spiritual dimensions. Here, the Yeti becomes a figure of transition: a reflection on identity, belonging, and the invisible forces that connect worlds…”
Beautiful. Happy Thursday ~ Danielle
