Michelle Jane Lee's artist loft blurs the line between art and home at every square foot. In response, dance-makers for homeLA:studio explored color schemes, exit strategies, slowness, augmented kitchen realities, compulsive habits, and morning ritual in an event that seamlessly transitioned one work to the next. This event was especially intimate in scale.

“The dancers and performers activated a new life to my studio's physical plant. They found new purpose, new meaning, new paths in places I never thought twice about. My kitchen, no longer just a kitchen, my paintings waiting on the wall between shows provided context and visual play while dancers placed themselves in front of them, falling, dancing, standing still. All the spaces demanded their deserved recognition, and once I became aware of this I was more than happy to give it.” - Michelle Jane Lee
