Ailyn Lee
Ailyn Lee is a South Korean interdisciplinary artist based in New York. She creates dreamlike scenes that explore memory, feminine identity, and transformation, using materials such as hand-sculpted stone clay, found objects, and traditional Korean silks. Her practice is deeply rooted in her family history—particularly her childhood spent in her grandmother’s antique shop in Busan, where she was surrounded by old furniture, marionettes, and figurative sculptures made by her mother. These early experiences continue to inform her instinct to reimagine everyday objects and biographical narratives with a dreamlike quality. Her process often begins with automatic drawings or fragments of dreams, which serve as intuitive maps for her practice.
Ailyn Lee has exhibited work at A.I.R. Gallery; Wassaic Project; and HERE Arts Center, all in New York, among others.
