Florence Lee
Elephant in Castle
2021
20.32 x 25.4 cm
This is a printed version of Elephant in Castle, a 2D digital animation, using a hand drawn frame by frame process to create subtle abstract narratives.
The work is created within the context of two strange years, 2019 and 2020. It re-writes the film, back in 2018, what was important become significantly meaningless. With a subtle narrative, the work expresses a constant change within the author’s own inner world. It is a reflective process, on discovering her own subject matter, as well as this complex world we are living in.
About Florence Lee
Florence was inspired by the research topic and artworks relating to Topophilia. Topophilia, terms from Greek topos “place” and -philia, “love of”, is a “strong sense of place, which often becomes mixed with the sense of cultural identity among certain people and a love of certain aspects of such a place.” People in a city might come from different places originally, but they all form their own paths of connectivity and responses to the places we inhabit, and even to the particular site that they pass through occasionally.
