Andre Lee Bassuet is a Korean American artist, designer and educator. She makes work dealing with memory and fleeting nature of human connections. She looks for unity between the human body and nature, merging qualities of both plants and humans.
Andre Lee Bassuet currently lives and works in Rhode Island.
Working in the delicate medium of paper, my work expresses the transience and delicate nature of the human form. Obscure traces of the body are incorporated within layers of text, paper, collage and embroidery. The body becomes an extension of nature and nature becomes an extension of the body. Thread is used to help mend, figuratively and literally, our connection to one another and the world at large.
