About
Simone Leigh was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1967 and currently lives in Brooklyn, NY. In 1990, Leigh received her BA in art and philosophy from Earlham College in Indiana. She originally trained as a ceramicist but much of her work now includes performances, as well as sound and video installations. Leigh’s art explores race, gender, and history, with a focus on the female form and Black female identity. Her sculptures are usually a combination of the human form, vessels, and architectural elements.
