Leslie Leong is a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Whitehorse, Yukon, whose practice is rooted in sustainability, material reuse, and environmental awareness. Beginning over 40 years ago in photography and ceramics, her work has evolved into an exploratory approach that embraces unconventional materials and experimental processes. Driven by curiosity and a restless creative instinct, Leong frequently adopts non-traditional techniques, allowing intuition, improvisation, and discovery to guide her practice.
Her current body of work reflects on ecological futures and the accelerating integration of technology into human life—from artificial intelligence and wearable tech to implants and augmented bodies. While technological advancements promise efficiency and heightened capability, Leong questions humanity’s capacity to cope with rapid change and the culture of excess it fuels. In response, she engages in a tactile, regenerative practice, sourcing materials from recycling depots and landfill sites to transform discarded objects into thoughtful artworks that reimagine value, function, and sustainability.
