The elemental stuff of photography – light – is subject and material in Leanne's practice. She utilises hybrid forms (sculptural installation, video, writing and photography itself) to interrogate photographic ontologies, materialities, agencies and presentations.
Her practice-research PhD investigates how a photographic contemporary art practice can respond critically and imaginatively to the climate crisis, specifically the global ice melt. It considers how the camera can be utilised not only as a representational tool to document the landscape in crisis, but performatively.
Alongside her practice and research, Leanne works as a graphic designer for the publishing industry.
