Nikki Lee in Elle Magazine

I was reading through the March issue of Elle magazine and found an article about Nikki Lee. She was the woman from our book that tried to blend into all of the stereotypical groups of people. Here is a clip of the article:

For her latest project, Layers, which will be shown at the Sikkema Jenkins gallery in Manhattan in November, Less crisscrossed the globe from Rome to Rio, commissioning local street artists to draw her portrait. Afterward she overlapped their images on a light box and photographed them. In one composite, she looks more Caucasian, in another her nose is slightly askew, and in a third, a vaguely Cubist half drawn eye floats across her cheek. "I'm examining my own identity," she explains. "Before, my work featured other people and me in costume assuming their identity." Doffing all props and accessories, only her face is left to serve as the blank canvas. Lee sees it as a more Western approach to art. "In Eastern culture you are taught to think of others rather than just yourself; you are connected to society," she says. "The Western way is more ego-based."
