Leech Gallery is an artist collective that produces, exhibits and sells, original artwork which includes garments and accessories.
As a family of visual artists, we have developed the Leech Gallery Artist Collective. In our shared studio, we collaborate on our unique collection of fashion art. Each garment is a one-of-a-kind piece, which is created through a process of deconstruction and reconstruction. The various graphic components applied are a combination of embroidery, painting, printing, and collaging of fabrics and found materials. The overall composition has a narrative which has taken place over time and left its mark. Each piece is a record of an experience; a historical document that is not just viewed, but worn, lived in, and experienced by all who interact with the wearer. Fashion is an accessible art form that people can identify with, use to express themselves, and form affiliations through. Our goal is to make our artwork more accessible by creating wearable canvases.
