After a decade long career in television Lee made a conscious return to her Visual Arts roots upon the birth of her daughter in 2007. Becoming a mother solidified for her the importance of living life with intention and truth.

Iben Holm Kongsbak

I´m always carrying a camera on me. I have photographed since my early youth. The images arise in the present inspired by the sky and the sea; the light; the oblique angels, the portraits; the urban life; surroundings.........all sources of inspiration where I find the poetry and history. I show the pictures as I see, interpretate and see it. Has exhibited at several galleries in Denmark.

When creating my paper piece to be sent to Iben Holm Kongsbak in Esbjerg to finish, I considered not only spirituality, but also concepts of connection, nationality and culture. I focused on the cultural divide that continues to cast a shadow on our Nation's identity.

The piece I received from Iben resembles a path I walk most days. A photograph of train tracks where the horizon is nonexistant. I filled the sky with a swirling mass of feathers, representing a meditation into the spiritual of which Iben speaks in her statement.

Both inspired by environment and spirituality, a great experience!

Lee Cripps send me a beautiful picture with a delicate feather a horizon inspired by one of my pictures and our home cities, and some symbols of diversity, spirituality, forgiveness , division , family, .....
My working on her piece I call Moving towards new horizons.......peace , redemption, unity.
