Q. What does it mean to create or be creative at a time of uncertainty?
Lea: In this uncertain moment, where everything is a mess, the only thing that feels comfortable is to be able to build something with your hands, to have some sense of achievement.

In Lea's work, line drawing gives the imagination a field of unlimited possibilities, it is an incomplete sketch, without real information - scale, color, material, or even perspective. In liberating moments, the objects evolve, an abstract line gives a general image, its interpretation is specific to each object it becomes. Two dimensionsional forms that materialize through an instictive process to become personalized objects.
