DescriptionLeigh studied BA Fine Art at Wimbledon College of Arts. His work reflects on the ‘Pleroma’ from Gnostic philosophy, which is defined as essentially ‘everything and nothing’: a paradox of creation; an ideal realm where mankind can achieve his true spiritual potential. The mirroring in the piece emphasizes mankind’s inability to reach perfection, as each side in an imperfect copy of the other.
