Lee Richmond’s work examines the stages in a human lifecycle. As an artist, she focuses on the themes of birth, love, memory, time, decay, and death. This installation interpreted these ideas with personal, symbolic, and scientific references relating to cultural history.

This series concerns the disintegration of humans in society. After witnessing a violent crime, Lee was compelled to reinterpret human fragility as the potential for human renewal. She accomplished this aesthetically, by framing clay fragments as an archeological dig deteriorating photo transfers of early civilization, punching copper to reveal a modern alphabet and juxtaposing functional objects with funeral paper that encrypt messages. The result: New cultural artifacts of bones, art, tools, and languages to be used to build a new dialogue about one's own life and death.
