with associated company ©leslieworks uses a combination of art/craft/design to create one-off and small edition artist's books, bookworks, multiples and other text based objects.

I am an artist/maker with passion, skill and multifarious interests. My first response is to the visual, while words and text are placed in new or unusual settings, exploring the potential for alternative or deeper understanding of language that we take for granted. Text adds a cerebral dimension to the visual art experience. My work assembles bits of our collective history with the events, thoughts and emotions in my own life.

A compulsive collector: any number of ephemera, literature, textiles, found objects, materials and mediums might find their way into the pieces. The constructive and tactile: the 3-D experience of making and viewing artists’ bookworks is paramount. I also enjoy transforming unwanted or secondhand books into a new experience, an 'altered book'.





More recently, I have focused on clean digitally produced bookworks with autobiographical overtones, and quirky multiples.
