Paperworks The "Material object" of Wanni Lee’s work is ambiguous in many ways: She does not know "waste paper". Nothing is discarded. The resource "paper" appears in a new context. When Lee lends hand on old books, which nobody wants to have any longer, this precious resource "education" gets a new place. Art as "nutrition" or: "food / foodstuff" meets the potential of "life education" through art.

These workpieces bridge many years: Like an author, who sits at the table to create his manuscript for printing, Wanni Lee ads paper edge to paper edge in filigree folding work.Tower characters emerge that give evidence of the past and save symbolically what otherwise might get lost.

When Lee creates a face from folded paper, which looks at us out of book covers, you can feel beyond it the fine sense of humor, which is so remarkable for this philanthropic "artist of the paper"..(Dr.Peter Hahnen, Zentrum Kloster Kamp)
