Unravelled 

Ideas & worries entangle.

Thoughts are hungry; bones are bare; 

nerves raw.

Leila Edelstein is 15 and has lived in Melbourne since she was 12. Originally more interested in performing arts such as drama and dance, Leila’s use of visual art is more recent. 

Leila has created a number of works using film, photography, pen sketching, painting with watercolours and acrylics and digital art. 

Leila was diagnosed with dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia at 15. This artwork was created a short time after diagnosis. A diagnosis can be exposing and a relief at the same time.
