ARTISTS STATEMENT
Brown’s studio practice is an attempt at understanding of the nature of reality through a questioning and observation of dream continuity. By performing repetitive and meditative actions of artmaking, including moldmaking, hairwork, and stiffened fabric processes, she uses the dreamt version of these actions as a way to trigger dream lucidity. She uses this phenomenon to explore a continuing dream narrative through creating meticulous tableaux of prominent repeated dream characters in order to invoke them back into the night's dream. Part personal mythology and part pseudo-scientific exploration, the resulting artworks begin as illustrations, but become artifacts of invocations.
Leah Brown (b. Washington DC, 1982) is a Ft Lauderdale-based sculptor and installation artist. She received her BFA with honors from the Rhode Island School of Design, and an MFA in Sculpture from the University of Miami. In addition to her studio practice, Leah is exhibitions director and co-curator of the FATVillage Arts District 501c3 in Ft Lauderdale, FL, where she oversees the execution of art exhibitions in the Projects, an 8,000 sq ft gallery space that is a receiver of the 2015-2016 Knight Arts Challenge Grant. Brown is a grantee of the South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship (2013) and of the Broward County CIP grant for the 2014 exhibition, “Beep Bop Boop”. Residencies include the HUB-BUB year-long artist residency in Spartanburg, SC and the Accesibility: Sustainability artist residency in Sumpter, SC.
