i create intimate impressions that mark and remember what history fails to tell us about the everyday lives of women
– the daily efforts, the steady presence, the invisible toil, the love and the loss. My objects and settings stand in perpetual tribute to women’s caregiving that persists through generations. I use photography and sculptural installation to capture images that hold memory and the ghosts of memory. My work deliberately blends old and new, fully aware that there are stories embedded deep within these objects and knowing that recollection, sentiment, intention and attention are passed on to the lives of other women.

Biography
Drawn to women’s history, Leslie Lyman has always been fascinated by social and material culture. She believes in the importance of the small details of daily life and the stories that are embedded through generations in the routines, rituals, and objects we hold dear.
In the absence of much written history, women have spent lifetimes passing their knowledge, values, and wisdom down through caregiving, stories, and the keepsakes they cherish and save.
Lyman draws our attention to the beauty hidden in plain sight. In order to remember what has come before, she asks us to celebrate and contemplate the wear and tear, the labor, the perpetual work, and the value of the everyday.
Leslie received her MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design and her BA from Smith College. A resident of Ipswich Massachusetts, she and her husband have lived on the north shore for thirty years where they raised their family of four sons.
