BIOGRAPHY

   Leah Gossett is a Southern Appalachian artist who discusses her artistic practice within the intersectional relationship between labor, craft, and art. Gossett’s work is textile and mixed media sculpture and assemblage installations. She uses found fabrics, domestic wares, and farm tools to contextualize her struggle with both resenting and respecting traditional female labor roles. Most of the farm tools in her work came from her family farm in the Southern Appalachian Mountains.
