All At Sea, 2011

details about this work


Kirsty O'Leary-Leeson is based in Plumstead, Eastern


“Landscape is a portrait of the soul”

I explore the spaces we exist in, both physical and psychological. Drawing complements and mirrors my subject matter, which is expressing facets of our existence. In drawing there is a relation with the provisional and unfinished, it exists in a state of suspense so connecting it with the lived life experience.
