Stories In Form — Cinnamon Lee
Tuesday January 24 2012
Welcome to the second designer profile for our new exhibition Stories In Form. In the lead up to the opening of the show we are looking at each designer featured and the story behind their work. To find out more about the exhibition, click here, and to catch up on all profiles (as well as an introduction from curator Jacqueline Power) click here.
Reading her biography, it is no surprise that metalsmith Cinnamon Lee cites her design philosophy as witnessed through her work as ‘knowledge is power’ — in 2010, she completed a Masters of Philosophy in Visual Art. Using this knowledge has led Lee to create her contribution to Stories In Form, a collection of lights that respond to the proximity of the user.
Lee often works at an intricate scale, combining traditional gold- and silver-smithing methods with modern manufacturing techniques such as rapid prototyping, favouring jewellery and lighting design.
