Forged is an exhibition of photography, painting and sculpture by Evan Lee, a Vancouver-based Chinese Canadian artist who explores the limits and possibilities of materials (particularly lens-based media) through experimentation, adaptability and an economy of means—a process that considers the extraordinary within the multitude of mundane, easily discarded and mass-produced objects that occupy our lives.
