Leonardo Drew crafts sculptures and installations out of a mix of found natural and manmade material. These works evoke urban living, humanity's relationship with nature, and African American society. His work is informed by his experience as an African American growing up in a housing project. Urban waste like wooden scraps and objects from condemned housing sites, with tree branches, roots, paper, raw cotton, rust and mud is what makes up his works. He makes these materials into complex and textured forms. Leonardo is known for reworking and recycling his pieces. Keeping some works in a constant state of incompletion.
