Kacie Lees: Primordial Nucleosynthesis

Inspired by space and the beginnings of life and matter, “Primordial Nucleosynthesis” is an exhibition showcasing steel and neon sculptures that depict the vibrant, electric moments following the Big Bang. These sculptures integrate time with matter, narrating the tale of our early universe as a symphony of freely moving subatomic particles, dispersing ionized light into a dense, glowing mist.

Driven by a passion for craft and chaos theory, “Primordial Nucleosynthesis” emphasizes our interconnected atomic origins as an expression of universal unity.

Kacie Lees is a multidisciplinary artist born in the Midwest with a background in sculpture and exhibition studies who creates opulent site-specific installations using neon, video, and print. Lees elucidates nature and history through the ineffable phenomena of light and teaches inventive, media-rich neon courses informed by her multifaceted professional practice for New York University, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Museum of Neon Art in Los Angeles.
