Entwined are a group of like minded artists using recycled materials and handmade paper as the medium to visually discuss art community and current affairs.
Leanne Poole's work is spontaneous and intuitive, driven by her materials which are paper (often handmade), found objects, and objects from nature. Texture, pattern, colour, and shape are often developed in the papermaking process, where she continues to experiment and explore. Further depth and complexity is then layered through burning, stitching, mark-making, scratching etc. For this exhibition, it is Artificial Intelligence and machine learning that is being explored.
Leanne is the Vice President of Papermakers of Victoria
