Artist’s Statement:
Liz Leggett’s paintings and drawings are process driven, the colors and mark making used to express speed, tension, rebuilding, frenzy, balance, conformity, control, hope and joy. Her primary interest is the play between abstraction and imagery to create visual confusion, uncomfortable associations and ambiguity–leaving the work open for interpretation and a visceral response.
