In this work titled Fingerprints (2006), he abandons the brush and instead creates a painting using only his fingerprints, unlike classical finger painters such as Gao Qipei (1660-1734), who used their fingers, nails, and palms largely in service of representation. The painting is made through a very simple process of repeated physical gestures creating a visual field of varying densities of pigment. The darkest areas in the painting are the overlap between several fingermarks; the lightest, untouched raw paper. According to Yee, the work explores the relationship between gesture and mind and specifically painting as a physically repetitive process that becomes a mental meditative process.
