This blog is an record of my Artistic journey. I’m currently working on a series called ‘Art of Travel’ which is described below.

ART OF TRAVEL

These digital photo composites are a collaboration of impressions and objects that have been inscribed on the landscape by the surrounding human inhabitants. They characterise the land, based on the humans branding of the landscape, creating the result of an implied culture through signs.


It is these purposely-impressed markings, created by an individual or a group of individuals collectively, that make a culture unique from any other. Yet at the same time, no two are the same representing a play between collectivism and individualism in a culture. Their unity from afar and their absolute variety up close, is the interactive play of travel that I’m endeavoring to represent.


I adapted this style because of my desire to visually learn from other cultures in comparison to my own. It is this desire to explore that excites me visually, and which is heightened during travelling, when displaced from my familiar environment. It is a curiosity common to all who wish to travel, to look, to see, to acknowledge, to move on.


It took 2 years in India to compose the final structure of the full India exhibition series, in which 5 pieces are currently show. India was a cultural shock and an experience that I was fascinated by and eager to adapt to. The first exhibition series on India has developed with my journey of adjustment to life in India and is a representation of my experience of settlement mentally within India: becoming familiar with the surroundings.


Rebecca Lee’s education in Arts stems back to a Special Arts Acceptance program in High School, where extended art classes taught her a variety of artistic mediums, through to a Advanced Diploma in Photography and most recently the completion of a Bachelor of Communications & Contemporary arts degree at ECU (Major Photography).
