studio

​

Leeann's work uses the drawing process as a vehicle for exploring artistic objectified labor. Relying on the basic concept that art is work, she meditates on ideas of finish, time, and production. Through this, she uses a variety of motifs and subject matter that contemplate ontological themes of identity and power. It is important to her that she maintains a rigorous studio practice, as this informs her curatorial praxis and teaching approach. She most commonly uses charcoal, graphite, Conté, and soft pastel to render both from life and photographic references.
