About Courtney M. Leonard

Courtney M. Leonard, Shinnecock artist and filmmaker, is Planting Fields Foundation’s 2023 Catalyst artist. Her project BREACH: Logbook 23 | ROOT, is a site-specific commission located in the Taxus Field at Planting Fields that will be on view through summer 2024. Leonard’s work embodies the multiple definitions of “breach”, an exploration and documentation of historical ties to water, whales, and material sustainability.
