Lea Durie

Lea is an artist, ceramicist and small batch maker. She creates works using ceramics, found materials, textiles and paper. Lea’s practice is concerned with our natural and built environment and how we can bring care to the forefront of our thinking. She is interested in places and materiality that is connected to that place, sometimes working with wild clay. Working with the materials of a place, Lea explores the impact of extreme weather and a changing climate and also how connection to place is experienced as a queer woman.

Lea has a Masters of Contemporary Art Practices, from the ANU School of Art and Design. Lea’s work is informed by her art practice an background as a Landscape Architect.
