Language Made Material
EJ Lee is an interdisciplinary artist working where language, material, and memory collide. Through stitched text, mixed-media collage, wearable forms, and poetic fragments, Lee transforms words into physical objects, cut, layered, sewn, and rebuilt. Their work explores dyslexia, healing, and the unspoken weight of language, using reconstruction as a method of reclaiming voice. Every piece begins with text and becomes a visual narrative that lives between page, body, and performance.
