Fugazi<\/em> consists of 5-by-5 foot prints created from digital scans of cubic zirconia, relatively inexpensive but high quality imitations of diamonds. A \u201cFugazi\u201c is a slang term used in Mafia films for a counterfeit diamond. The images are captured at a high level of detail and are enlarged fifteen thousand percent to a scale that renders the gems\u2019 internal appearance as mesmerizingly random, distorted and fractured, while the effects of digital image-loss and artifacting emerge to aid in their visual transformation. The patterns of abstract shapes and reflected colours appear kaleidoscopic and at times groundless, an aesthetic that Lee manipulates further by constructing geometric backgrounds in response to the resulting visual space.<\/p>\n

Fugazi <\/em>also continues the artist\u2019s interest in psychedelia, illusion and optics, as explored in such earlier works as Every Part from a Contaflex Camera<\/em>…\u00a0(2006); Stain<\/em> (2003); and Phoropter<\/em> (2012).
