Leonardo Drew
born Tallahassee, FL 1961
“I grew up in the P.T. Barnum projects of Bridgeport, Connecticut. The city dump occupied every view of our apartment. I would watch the bulldozers troll back and forth over this massive landfill, . . ., the cranes lift, deposit, and bury. . . . It’s the metaphor and consistent weight of being which drives my work to this day. Though I do not use found objects . . . (my materials are fabricated in the studio), what has remained from my early explorations are the echoes of evolution . . . birth, life, death, regeneration.”
