"In Lesley Bodzy’s work, histories of fleeting and yet defining everyday traumas appear crystallized - finally visible and tangible, these psychological fragments can be acknowledged, confronted, and exorcised. Beautifully executed work with a deep, psychological dimension at its core."
"Lesley Bodzy has astounded us with her impressive skill and style. She has tenaciously explored new styles and mediums. Folds of Desire is composed of free-standing sculptures, wall pieces and installations. Each piece represents a moment or a period where the traditional utility of acrylic paint has been exhausted and thus transforms into a 3-dimensional object of observation and reflection. The predominant color gold is an eye wink to the Rococo period as an element of seduction. Pleats and undulations mimicking the folds of satin or skin create Folds of Desire."

"Wrapped and evocatively finished, Lesley Bodzy's luxe assemblages belie their material composition."

"For the viewer, Bodzy’s works are thought-provoking. She traverses the line between conceptual and aesthetic art. Art that can pique our curiosity and remind us of beauty, is a gift worth unwrapping."

"Lesley Bodzy’s sculptures are made of unique materials. She applies pure paint to unconventional surfaces, like foam, aluminum, and plexiglass, offering a fresh perspective."

"Your gold feminist works are powerful and spark synesthetic feelings, sensations that are hard to put into words. I wish I could wear one like a cloak down a monumental corridor.”
