Guest Judge, Dr Christopher McAuliffe comments on Lea-Anne’s works, “Animals loom large, and look at the viewer. Humans are distant, hooded and withdrawn. Side-by-side on the painting’s surface, humans and animals are yet disconnected. Regardless of its title, Seeking connections seems to me about the disregard humans have for animals.
