Lesley Dill is an American multimedia artist known for combining language with the human form. Her art focuses on the intersection of language and the human form, drawing inspiration from poets and authors such as Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Salvador Espriu, Tom Sleigh, Franz Kafka, and Rainer Maria Rilke, often including their words within her works. Along with words, her art often emulates and references the human figure with clothing. She says “clothing houses the house that houses the soul.” National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., Art Institute of Chicago, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, and The Museum of Modern Art all hold Dill’s works in their collections.
