Current Exhibits - Lee-Ann LeMesurier

The series leans into modest materials: dryer sheets, pine needles, broom bristles, jute, and thread. These are combined with traditional craft methods such as weaving, tatting, and crocheting—reimagined and recontextualized. Acrylic works on delicate substrates and pinch pot vessels serve as grounding forms, offering spaces where the ephemeral is given shape and permanence.

Across the collection, the tension between delicacy and resilience is ever-present. The use of gloss finishes, shadow boxes, and ornate frames brings in an element of reflection and reverence—inviting the viewer not just to observe, but to pause and look more closely. Each work stands alone, but together they form a constellation of quiet resilience, held together by care, method, and memory.

At its core, Held Together is a meditation on what it means to hold, preserve, and elevate what might otherwise be overlooked. It is about finding strength in fragility—and beauty in the ordinary.

Lee-Ann also accomplished multiple scholarships and awards before acquiring her degree. In addition, she has her Interior Decorating Certificate, from Humber College.
