Aevum traces Heather Lee’s ongoing commitment to honouring ancestral craft lineages through practices grounded in repetition, ritual and embodied knowledge. Her making process unfolds through deliberate, sequential gestures, echoing the modes of tradition passed down through cultural presence and memory. This foundation becomes a form of devotion, preserving the rhythms of inherited techniques while allowing space for personal growth and adaptation.
Working with natural materials, Lee transforms customary handcraft into sculptural motifs that hold the quiet persistence of generational care. Each piece holds the imprint of familiar, inherited motions, transforming technique into a living archive that moves between garment, vessel and contour. Through spatial rhythm and tactile intimacy, the work reveals how honouring sequence and lineage sustains tradition as a vital, evolving and resonant force.
