Leah explores ideas in relation to landscape, people and time. Drawing on geographic and historic subject matter, she is interested in past, present and future stories that observe the shaping of communities by physical environment. Her current doctoral research investigates the documentation of a deserted medieval village in East Sussex and considers how audiences engage with lost places in the 21st Century.
More broadly, Leah is concerned with developing methods for visual storytelling through documentary narrative, with a focus on the role of drawing as a means of recording experience and readings of place.
Alongside her practice and research, Leah is a visiting lecturer at the Royal College of Art, MA Visual Communication.
