"In 1983 Lee created her first ‘photocopy' work, copying works from the Western canon until they were dark and illegible. She then further distorted the images by manipulating their scale and overpainting them in acrylic. These works explore ideas about originality and authenticity. As Lee states, ‘repetition was about trying to be inside each moment of being … [it] has been a really important quality in my work since the very beginning'."
(Anne O'Hehir, the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra)
