These are pieces shaped by memory, place and touch, designed to evoke the delight of finding treasures in rockpools. Working from her studio within the dynamic Abbotsford Convent arts precinct, Leopoldseder creates pieces that balance material sensitivity with conceptual depth. Her work has been exhibited widely in Australia and internationally and is held in major public collections, including the National Gallery of Victoria.
