Leslie Ford is an abstract painter whose practice embraces printmaking and photography. Her work is inspired by her meditations on literature; current events, music lyrics and popular culture seem through the lens of simple engagement of process. She seeks to provide clarity or identify hidden meaning between two or more conceptual ideas by combining studio practices with processes of the mind to express her metaphors of ephemeral ideas. She holds a BFA in Design from Carnegie-Mellon University and completed a summer residency in Painting and Mixed Media at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
Leslie Ford: Seasonal 12
Seasonal began as a series of meditations on beauty and fear. “Beauty is the mystery of life” is a famous quote by Agnes Martin that inspired me to make digital images combining the most banal and commonplace subjects of flowers and snowflakes. All physical matter has a mysterious shelf life, some long, others short. Everything vanishes at some point like snow and flowers often are part of a passing of life.
