Professor of Fine Art Dr Rona Lee is an artist based in London; she works in a process - based and responsive manner, combining performance, photography, sculpture and video with techniques from other disciplines, as well writing on the capacity of artistic methods to support new forms of critical thinking. Recent work is shaped by a concern with the politics and aesthetics of Geo-materiality along with the human / non-human entanglements of the Anthropocene.
