Lesley Dill is an American artist working at the intersection of language and fine art in sculpture, printmaking, installation and performance, exploring the power of words to cloak and reveal the psyche.

Dill transforms the emotions of the writings of Emily Dickinson, Salvador Espriu, Tom Sleigh, Franz Kafka, and Rainer Maria Rilke into works of paper, wire, horsehair, foil, bronze and music—works that awaken the viewer to the physical intimacy and power of language itself.

Dill’s artworks are in the collections of over fifty museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art New York, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Hunter Museum of Art, the Figge Art Museum, and the Weatherspoon Art Museum. She has had over 100 solo exhibitions. She lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She is represented by Nohra Haime Gallery in New York City and Arthur Roger Gallery in New Orleans, LA.
