This artist uses multilayered techniques in creating complex trees with leaves and branches. Heeso Lee carefully crafts these items that seem to grow out of ceramic vessels. The process is complicated as she uses color to establish a seasonal mood. Some of these colors evoke warm tones such as the fallen leaves of autumn. Other capture winter and all its bareness.
Lee imagines the woodland scene and creates it from her imagination. She started out as a painter, and later ventured into using clay as a smooth canvas. This inspired her to build arts that are three dimensional.
The talented artist explains that translucent porcelain was is used because it beautifies the color and clarifies it. The process starts by forming the trees individually. It starts with the largest and closest trees and is followed by the smaller trees. All of them are formed individually with a clay coil.
