Developed during an immersive residency, Autumn in Hyannis reflects Leslie Goldman’s walking-based

practice and engagement with place and seasonal change. Collected fallen leaves became both material

and reference, informing seven cut-paper works and an accompanying installation that abstract organic

forms through repetition, layering, and shadow, inviting quiet observation and reflection.

“Walking and collecting leaves is a way of mapping place through attention rather than

documentation. This exhibition is not a literal representation of the Hyannis landscape, but a

response to time spent walking, noticing, and working within it. The work holds traces of that

residency experience—of movement, seasonal change, and the small, often overlooked details

that shape how we inhabit a place.” — Leslie Goldman

meditative sculptures and intricate papercuts inspired by organic forms and the natural world. Her

work often emerges from her daily walking practice—an act that connects her to her body, her

construction, Goldman mirrors the rhythms of nature, offering viewers a reflective experience

grounded in time, texture, and observation.

Certificate from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University, and an MA in Art
