Leila Houston (London, 1977) is a multidisciplinary  artist whose work investigates the social, political and historical aspects of a place and the impact we have on our environments. Houston explores connections between the external atmosphere and the internal sensation within places and objects, providing reflections on the language of architecture and the associations we draw through memory and the senses.

Work will be available for purchase from 26th October 2019 .....find details here on 26th. Also follow Leila Houston for regular updates on Instagram
