Open Studio with Artist in Residence, Lucky Lee

Makerspace Open Studio: Good Bones

Meet the Artist in Residence:

Karen (Lucky) Lee is a contemporary artist, experience designer, and facilitator.  She creates multi-disciplinary social practice works and participatory experiences exploring place, identity, inequality, gender, class, humanness, social connection, mobility, and built and natural environments.

She likes creating playful opportunities to explore serious topics, generate sensory joy, kinaesthetic activation and emotive memory, and build connections to bridge difference and bring delight.

Karen has been in residence in the Makerspace during October- December 2024.

Karen has spent her residency developing her practice and a body of work entitled ‘Good Bones’, examining housing security, urban life, sense-of-home, attachment, and the cost of living.  Works explored include paper and wire sculpture houses, bread houses and cityscapes, maps, participatory works and video works. The project engages the wider community, including seniors.

Karen will share the outcomes and works in progress in this Open Studio session. You may be treated to fresh bread!

Karen’s residency is supported through DADAA, Lotterywest, and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries.
