Artist’s agony ‘MY SCULPTURES SPEAK MY PAIN’
In a pocket-sized artist’s studio on Auckland’s North Shore, Virginia Leonard pinches, pummels and massages into being a many-legged pot studded with spiky clay rivets.
She’s surrounded by the richly coloured, irregularly shaped ceramics that she’s becoming internationally known for. Frequently described as “visceral” and “autobiographical”, each piece represents Virginia’s body – and the chronic pain she lives with.
More of us will get to see her stunning art when Virginia joins 30 artists to exhibit at Waiheke
