Through the lens of her camera Lesleigh closely observes and absorbs life’s myriad change of course. Several images taken over different spans of time in different worlds find themselves cohabiting the same space. Lesleigh uses the computer to manipulate, morph, juxtapose, contextualize and de-contextualize layered meanings in her photographs.

Since living in New Delhi, Lesleigh has been working on images using a nude and placing her in surreal environments, dream like and mysterious. These images very often incorporate architectural elements, the sky, and the sea photographed during the artists travels across the world. The sky in Lesleigh’s art foregrounds and envelops the nude sitter, the visual imagery transporting us into unknown realms both imagined and real, from both the artist’s perspective and from our own hopes and fears.

The Female is a theme that permeates her work. There is also the scuptor‘s need to express three dimensionality. Thus the ‘Crucifix‘ series, incuding infanticide, have come into being. The works are made in ceramic and mounted on plexi-glass. These powerful sculptures express womens repression and persecution since the beginning of time. They represent the inequality and prejudice that women face in life that continues to this day.
