  Ep 147: Lesley Luce - Collage Artist

  May 26, 202653 min

  Lesley Luce is a collage artist whose large-scale circular works are created from thousands of hand-placed paper fragments arranged in precise concentric circle compositions. She wants people to be captivated by her art from afar and intrigued up close, rewarding those who are curious. Lesley says she’s a late-blooming artist and her artistic practice reflects a perspective shaped by time, lived experience, a career, and a deep belief that curiosity does not expire with age. Her artworks even come with a manual - a handmade mini book that’s part archive, part decoder ring. It shows the fragments she used, cites where they came from, and why they are included in the work. Through her social media channels, Lesley shares fun, fascinating info and behind-the-scenes peeks into her life as an artist. On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with Lesley about how she rediscovered her creative passion through tiny pieces of paper, the role curiosity plays in her creative practice, and how she draws from history to tell stories through her artworks.
