Simone Leigh engages in an object-based, sculptural exploration of black female subjectivity. Her ongoing ethnographic practice, informed by both ancient African and African American object-making, bridges abstracted forms with iconic images. In projects that include terracotta and porcelain female busts, large-scale installations, and performances, Leigh brings a remarkable sense of craft and a potent investigation of female identity to Afro-futurist tableaux. She presented a solo exhibition at The Kitchen, New York, and received a Creative Capital Grant in 2012.
