Joceline Lee named Best Visual Artist!

19 October 2011

Arts Access Victoria is thrilled to announce that artist Joceline Lee has been named Best Visual Artist at the 2011 Melbourne Fringe Awards.  The Fringe judges were awed by the visible growth in Joceline’s practice from older works that were included in the exhibition, which proved to be a strong emphasis in their judging.

In her mesmerising first solo show Rendered Bones as part of the Melbourne Fringe, artist Joceline Lee shared her remarkable observations of rarely-seen specimens from Melbourne Museum’s vast Vertebrate Palaeontology collection. Through her current artist residency with the Museum, Lee created a sophisticated series of drawings depicting the dynamic, complex skeletal structures of long-extinct creatures. Rendered Bones interpreted the fragile nature of fossilised structures from both sketch models and physical configurations.  Working mostly with ink on paper, Lee rendered skulls, carcasses, rib cages in intricate detail, re-imagining the basic frameworks of a diverse range of animal life.
