An evocative and nuanced collection of work, Where the Ink Falls circles in intricate ways around art and the embodied response. It shifts suddenly from moments of mundanity to the heightened emotion of the artist’s world, contemplating the significance of Lee’s work through the experience of ekphrasis. A beautiful and meaningful read.

Drawing on the ancient Chinese tradition of flung ink, Lindy Lee creates powerful thrown ink and flung bronze artworks. Honouring and responding to this ‘calligraphy of the universe’, twelve writers have flung their ink – to create works of poetry, essay and personal reflection. Responding to Lee’s themes of timelessness, belonging and identity, and the fusion of art and life, the creative writing in Where the Ink Falls offers readers stories of second-generation migrants, reflections on the materiality of art, and discussions of replica and originality, memory and imagination.
