EXHIBITION DOCUMENTATION »> ‘STILL RUNNING’A BOXCOPY ENSUITE PROJECT FEATURING WORK BY ANGELA LEECHOPENING FRIDAY 21 MAY 5:30-8pmCONTINUING UNTIL 4 JUNE 2010 Located on Level 1, 125 Margaret Street, Brisbane CBD (right next door to Boxcopy, above Victor Cycles). Still Running is a site-specific installation showcasing Melbourne artist Angela Leech’s most recent collage and sculptural works. In Still Running, Leech interprets her experience of inner city Melbourne, combining the athletic figure with the truck to express the momentum, acceleration and endurance found in daily urban life. Photographic images provide the backdrop for hand carved puppet-like wooden structures, suspended in time and space creating a diorama of sorts. For these background images Leech uses analogue film to create these photographs which she feels produces a sense of the familiar, of memory and the passing of time. Her sculptures are fabricated in wood and variously soft or rigid, molded forms in natural or synthetic materials. Often her works reference the human figure and more ambiguous psychological phenomenon, experiences and perspectives, while dealing with running, the body, masks, appendages or other disguises combined with mechanical elements. Leech holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours at RMIT University and received an Australia Council ArtStart Grant in 2010. She is now based at Artery Co-op Studios in Northcote and has recently been selected to be part of the Toorak Village Sculpture Exhibition.
