Lesley Hilling

London, UK

Lesley’s artworks explore two themes - the exterior, architectural layering of buildings, and the interior, more personal home space. Her typical materials are salvaged wood from old furniture, mixed with found objects, photos and magnifying glasses.

Focusing on people and their memories, the artist reflects on the impact of time, which passes and changes our lives.

“On Longing” is one of Lesley’s most personal works as it was created after her father’s death. It consists of objects from her parents’ home, through which she seeks to transmit sadness and a nostalgic longing for the past.
