'Facing Carol Lee's works is like walking into an unknown sphere of imagination. We see a combination of shape, juxtaposition, colour, rhythm, density and intensity - all creating strong visual sensations. Chinese art critic Carolyn Cartier describes Lee's work as "challenging the relationship between artist, art and viewer". Artist Lee explores topics such as childhood memories and personal intimacy relationships, investigating the philosophy of life and the flow of time, expressing her emotions and attachments with the surroundings by playing with light, shadows, found objects and space.

Using a specific technique called "time painting", which was originated from the principles of photograms, Lee places objects onto newsprint papers under the sun, intending to use the portrayal of light to record the passing of time. Newsprint yellows on the surface as time passes. Patterns of shading and fading are therefore transferred through the objects and "projected" onto the paper. This process produces an astonishing aesthetic effect, creating images described as "minimalist, elegant, serious and reflecting". Threads of Luminosity covers various series of works on paper documenting Lee's capture of time from the year 2005 until present.' - from publisher's website
