Artist Statement

Leah Sutton is an interdisciplinary artist who practices visual poetics to question the materiality of the work. She uses light and shadow as a duality that connects the natural and artificial. With this duality and materials manufactured and handmade, she creates environments that beckon the viewer to consider other dualities such as light and dark, inside and outside, past and present, and private and public. Using museum studies and the human drive to archive and preserve, her work in artists' books and installation seeks to fragment materiality and narrative where it constantly battles the question of “will it disappear” and “if so, when?”
