Cut & Paste — Artist Mee Jey
Update: 2020-04-10
Description
Artist Mee Jey started a collaboration with husband Jey Sushil at the beginning of January. She pledged to create a portrait of Sushil every day for a year. Each day, she shows him the finished piece without comment, and he writes a short note in response.
But befitting Jey’s multidisciplinary, eclectic approach, these are not simple depictions of her husband’s physical presence. They are her impressions of his mental state, rendered impressionistically — sometimes from objects Jey finds around the house.
As January turned into February and February turned into March, the shadow of the coronavirus pandemic gradually grew over this evolving body of work.
