Lesley J McLaren

About the Artist
Lesley works primarily in photo-based media, using a variety of tools including traditional photographic equipment and digital media to initially capture images from which work can be developed. The emphasis within her practice can be found in the physical processes of printing the images onto surfaces which have a direct link to the photographs themselves. Recent works have focused on destruction and decomposition and namely the unique, inherent beauty, which can be captured during the process of decay.
