From the dense foliage, Leah Fraser's forest creatures emerge. Peering out with eyes at once wistful, knowing and vulnerable; they invite us to join their secretive, lonely world.
Leah's first solo show marked the opening of Black & Blue Gallery in Sydney. For her first Melbourne show, the Sydney artist has moved beyond 2D imagery on the gallery walls and introduced an immersive space, with large-scale watercolours sitting alongside a kinetic installation of 100 clay birds suspended in flight.
Fever Dreams also sees each artwork accompanied by an original short poem, offering a narrative dimension to the imagery and giving further insight into the workings of this emerging artist's creative process.
