Luka Lesosky-Hay (b.2001, Geelong) is a Naarm based multidisciplinary artist interested in the intersection of sculpture, performance and painting. Her ever-expanding practice combines sculptural and textile forms with classic oil painting techniques. Lesosky-Hay uses these modes of creation to explore the significance of framing and presentation, and how this can imbue the subject matter of her choosing with deeper recognition and importance.
With a background as a former AFLW player, Lesosky-Hay often draws on her experiences within the sports industry as rich subject matter to speak on contemporary ideas surrounding femininity. Repositioning how sport and its athletes are represented within a creative field, finding similarities and community within the two.
