Bovey Leede 2015年剪纸作品拥有更多惊喜（点击看艺术家2014年作品）。这一年，艺术家从匹兹堡搬去了洛杉矶，她在飞机上看到了世界上最高的过山车，这个场景给了他创作灵感。从10岁就开始练习中国书法的华人女性艺术家Bovey Leede开始用过山车元素串联起自然与城市中的不同场景，并用X-Acto切刀在中国宣纸上刻剪。这些作品把握了各要素的和谐，平衡，稳定，拥有让人难以置信的丰富性和活力，真是天马行空，跌宕起伏，充满混乱，也充满和谐，不仅美丽，也还浪漫。

非常感谢Bovey Lee将以下内容授权gooood发行。
Appreciation towards Bovey Lee for providing the following description:

DIVERTICAL is a new body of cut paper of rollercoaster forms inspired by my relocation from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles last year. It’s named after the world’s tallest water rollercoaster.

Taking inspiration from the overwhelming nature of a cross-country move, my new cut paper works are predominated by various formations of rollercoasters winding their way throughout the pieces and often forming the perimeter of the cuttings. Embedded within each work – contrasting with the chaos of the rollercoaster and the natural and urban elements that fill the work – is evidence of a small balancing act, depicted in the form of a tightrope walker, a cyclist, or a surfer.

In these works, I also draw parallels between one’s romantic relationship and our relationship with nature. While seeking balance, eternity, stability, and harmony in both relationships, the journey we take on are often complex, dramatic, changing, and lopsided. But there is also incredible beauty, energy, richness, and even whimsy in chaos and imperfections through the ups and downs, and trial and error.

I hand cut each piece using an X-Acto knife and work exclusively with Chinese rice paper. Chinese rice paper is the first art material I used since age 10 practicing Chinese calligraphy and it’s also eco-friendly.

These new works are some of the most significant works I’ve created to date for they mark a defining period of my life.
