Photography on canvas
30x20"
Limited edition 1 of 3.
The green juxtaposed against the old wooden chair create contrast between something living and the old inanimate object strategically placed in the flower garden. A viewer might ask what is the purpose of this vintage chair in the garden? The image filled with texture of detailed flowers in deep green hues on a late summer afternoon contrasted by the carved back of the chair might remind us of something from the past. A memory of being in a beautiful garden on a warm summer late afternoon day. My memory goes back to watching my father nurture his hydrangea flowers. Today, his harvest chair sits and rests as the flowers changes with the season.
Lesha Sinnesael (Leighsha) was born in Southwestern, Ontario to parents of Belgium decent. She grew up on the family tobacco farm and lived there until 1982. She is a graduate of OCAD, University of Guelph and University of Toronto focusing on arts and education. Throughout her life, she has captured and expressed the beauty of our surroundings through various mediums. In the late 80’s and 90’s she exhibited her work predominantly in southern, Ontario and has been part of the juried show process having many works accepted into exhibitions. Now, retired from her teaching career in northeastern, Ontario with experience and purpose she began to see the world through a different lens. Leighsha currently lives in the farming community of Earlton, Ontario. In 2020 she began to add her father’s harvest chair to the landscape. In her photographic work she is interested in the viewer having a conversation with the beautiful farmland of northeastern, Ontario. The intimate inanimate object is carefully placed at different times of the day, so the viewer questions why such an old chair is sitting in the landscape or sitting at an old barn. Leighsha is recreating childhood memories of being on the land as a young child. She creates a mood and brings drama to the scene which creates the conversation between the viewer and the photograph.
