I believe in the power of stories.
Creativity, imagination, and make-believe are essential building blocks in life.
Stories help us understand the world we live in and also transport us to a different life than the one we know.
“The thing about performance, even if it’s only an illusion, is that it is a celebration of the fact that we do contain within ourselves infinite possibilities.”
Daniel Day Lewis
Stories that focus on real-life and intimate relationships, striving to belong, and finding one’s place in the world populate Leah Patterson’s work.
