It was Lost in the Move by Leah Jensen
Leah Jensen is a skilled ceramic carver. She developed her signature style through a mapping method that enables her to carve intricate geometric interpretations of Renaissance paintings into ceramic pots.
For Award 2025, in a departure from her usual methods, Leah will explore anxieties around housing insecurity, drawing upon her experience in 21 different living situations. Using hand-building skills with unglazed terracotta, textiles and found objects, Leah will create an installation constructed from many objects.
