Sally Lee

Sally is a multidisciplinary artist born in the UK and raised in the United States. As a Chinese woman growing up between different cultures, she became familiar with the feeling of being both connected to and separate from the places she called home. Having moved frequently as a child, her experiences continue to shape the way she thinks about identity, belonging, and the environments she creates through her work.

Her practice brings together her Chinese, British, and American identities. Through personal memories, cultural references, and everyday objects, Sally explores what it means to be Chinese American beyond physical appearance. She is especially interested in the ways ideas and stereotypes about Eastern and Western cultures are passed down, repeated, and changed over time.

Sally’s work also looks at womanhood, domestic life, and the everyday rituals that bring people together. In this piece, the dining table often becomes a place to explore these connections—whether through making a meal with loved ones, playing games with family, or simply catching up with a friend over tea.
