Statement

Leonie Klein is a bristol based, artist-maker working with clay, mixed media assemblages and collage. Her creative fervour ignites from her ongoing visceral and somatic investigation into the nature of existing. Drawing from the mythic-imaginal, she challenges the conventional cultural narrative that separates us from a passive, inert world. Her creative practice invites a more relational direct experiencing of matter and sentience, with materials as active agents, co-creating meaning through sensory encounter.

Bio

She completed her BA in Creative Arts Practice at Bath Spa Uni in 2025.
