Leuca Jane Ziemons is an interdisciplinary artist, practice-led researcher and slow fashion designer.
Her art practice encompasses installation works, narrative textile collections, traditional printmaking, sound and projection.
Utilising Mindfulness-Based Phenomenological Studies, as developed within her Master of Arts by research, Leuca offers her audience a mindfully choreographed, deeply contemplative, immersive experience. Leuca’s research interests are centred upon the quotidian moment and the capacity for art to engender present moment awareness.
Her work seeks to elevate the significance of the everyday, with works that often inhabit the space of the unremarkable, in a way that is both captivating and at times haunting. Her work provides new ways of seeing, through the recontextualization of garment, cloth, mark making and commonplace objects engendering space for personal reflection upon what may be ordinarily overlooked.
Leuca is currently a Provisional Doctoral Candidate at The MIECAT Institute in Melbourne, Victoria (Year 1) Professional Doctorate in Therapeutic Arts Practice. Her research inquiry is opening up new ways of knowing, embodied ways of being in the world and a deepening sense of connection to ancestral lifeworlds.
