LEIGH BINSKIN

My work explores the emotional landscape of place, memory, and belonging. Deeply influenced by my Scottish heritage and my chosen life in Australia, my practice reflects a strong connection to everyday objects, personal histories, and the layered stories embedded in the spaces we inhabit. At the heart of my work is a desire to honour legacy and evoke a sense of shared history—both personal and cultural. I create evocative compositions by layering historic photographs, handwritten notes, and my own sketches beneath transparent acrylic glazes. These elements act as archaeological layers, revealing fragments of lives lived, places loved, and moments remembered. Through this process, I weave visual stories that invite nostalgia and sentimentality, encouraging viewers to connect with the past in a way that feels both intimate and collective.
