Lee Ladell (they/them) is a multidisciplinary emerging artist based out of Treaty 1. Their practice focuses on representing states and cycles of transformation, regeneration and transitional growth through mixed media sculpture, installation, photography and stained glass/solder. Throughout their work they create a blended visual language between natural elements such as bone, ash and shells and constructed rudimentary armatures and pillars. They are interested in the representation of natural elements in their work as potential conduits for healing, protection and stability.  Ladell received a Bachelor of Fine Arts (honours) from the University of Manitoba in 2023 and is currently developing work in their studio for a solo exhibition.
