Limited Edition Woven Neckpiece

Limited Edition Woven Neckpiece by Grace Lillian Lee  

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION 

Grace Lillian Lee was born in Cairns in 1988. She is a descendant of the Doolah family from Erub (Darnley Island) and her language group is Meriam Mir. In 2010 Lee graduated in Fashion Design at RMIT University in Melbourne and is now recognised as Australia’s leading Indigenous artists and fashion designers. 

In 2013, Lee founded the nationally recognised Cairns Indigenous Art Fair Fashion Performance and today her designs and body sculptures are represented at major fashion shows and art exhibitions throughout Australia and overseas.

Lee is deeply interested in exploring relationships between contemporary fashion, design, traditional cultures and communities, and she is particularly focussed on exploring and declaring her cultural connection to Torres Strait Island traditions in contemporary ways.

In 2024, Lee produced her latest iteration of body sculptures in collaboration with internationally renowned fashion designer, Jean Paul Gaultier. These were exhibited in Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fashion Freak Show at the Brisbane Festival, which Lee described as the pinnacle of her career.

Lee has exhibited extensively in Australia and overseas and her work is represented in major collections, including the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, Sydney; Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; and Cairns Art Gallery, Queensland.
