Engaging the Senses
A brief survey of sensorial work created independently, in collaboration with other artists and secondary school art students.
As a multi-disciplinary artist, Leslie creates multi-modal sculptures, installations and participatory performances based on the premise that sculpture can and should include the ability of access through multiple senses, removing the barrier of “do not touch” created by the limitations of institutions.
