Léa Cuvelier (she/her, 1999) is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher from Brussels (BE), based in London (UK). She has a background in law, which means she has spent an unreasonable amount of time buried in textbooks, legal documents and research. She later studied in the TXT department at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie (Amsterdam, NL), where she found more interesting ways of asking some of the same questions.
Working across textiles, language, sound, video and performance, her practice explores space, the home, identity, death, memory and grief (among other light-hearted subjects).
Through weaving, writing, wrapping and taking things apart, she looks at how fragmented experiences might be reclaimed, reconnected and reimagined, and how we might find new ways of inhabiting the world.
