Lee Ufan made frequent use of cotton early in his career, in the late 1960s, when he was connected with Japan’s Mono-ha movement, as one of its principal theorists. Cotton was most often combined with sheet steel, in a spectacular and poetic play of contrasts. Cotton and steel are both natural materials, yet they look different in every way: cotton is white, lightweight, soft, yielding. It seems to cosset the dark, constraining, man-made metal sheets. By establishing a relationship between raw and manufactured materials, Lee Ufan emphasizes their specific characteristics.
