Albero folgorato (Thunderstuck Tree), 2012, is the culmination of this series. Cast in bronze from a willow that had been struck by lightning, it both captures a moment in time and stands fixed as a profoundly evocative and timeless monument.

  • Constant Scholar Strength and Consistency of Hand: Skills Leeds
    spent a lifetime developing since, at age 17, he was accepted as the single disciple of Michael Frimkess, one of the seminal masters of the California clay movement. After Frimkess, Leeds found other teachers and evolved the distinctive body of work that, for 25 years, was exhibited and sold internationally by the gallery of Gumps, San Francisco. Recently, prompted by the sudden death of a close friend, Leeds has created a new body of work that integrates while it departs from all that he has learned before. In this uncharted region, for the first time, he has not sought a master. Born in New York to a father whose artistic ambitions were thwarted by World War II and the inconvenience of a family, Leeds grew up within constant conflict. “I was just checked out. I watched and waited until I could get away.” The family moved to Los Angeles in 1960 and Leeds ran away for the first time (at age 15) to Haight Ashbury where he found work in the shipyards and a home with a self-realisation community, “I was kind of a hippie but with a work ethic.” At age 17 he left for good. “I decided I would be a jeweller, so I went to get tools at a craft shop in downtown Los Angeles.” Above: Spring Landscape. 1983.
