Cycle Of Remains
Leigh-Anna Barber Corbett
£1,500
Description
Cycle of Remains is a sustainable sculptural artwork formed from a repurposed motorbike wheel and an assemblage of vintage objects, arranged into the recognisable shape of a skull. Materials once associated with motion, industry, and everyday use are brought together to create a powerful symbol of both life and impermanence.
The skull has long been a universal emblem of mortality, shared humanity, and transformation. In this work, it becomes a reminder that beneath surface differences, we are fundamentally connected — to one another, to the objects we create, and to the environments we inhabit. The circular motorbike wheel functions as both structure and metaphor, representing cycles of life, death, renewal, and the ongoing turning of time.
The vintage elements embedded within the skull carry traces of past lives and forgotten narratives, suggesting that human experience, like material culture, is layered and interconnected. By reassembling discarded and inherited objects into a unified form, the piece challenges linear models of consumption and disposal, offering instead a vision of sustainability rooted in care, continuity, and shared responsibility.

About the artist
Leigh-Anna Barber Corbett
West Sussex, United KingdomLeigh-Anna Barber Corbett
West Sussex, United KingdomLeigh-Anna is a UK-based artist whose work explores memory, transformation, and resilience through the reimagining of discarded materials. A graduate of the University of Sussex, her practice is grounded in a deep respect for personal narratives and the hidden poetry within everyday objects. By collecting and reassembling fragments—such as jewellery, buttons, and watch parts—she creates intricate mosaics and assemblages, often shaped as birds, animals, fish, and skulls. These organic forms, symbols of freedom and life cycles, guide her compositions, balancing chaos and order with meticulous detail.
Her process is both intuitive and deliberate, honouring the stories held within each fragment while uncovering new meanings through their reconfiguration. In her hands, remnants of the past are transformed into contemporary works that invite close inspection, encouraging viewers to find beauty, rhythm, and tension in overlooked materials.
Leigh-Anna’s practice is also shaped by her lived experience. Her journey through addiction and mental health struggles gave her art a renewed purpose: to rebuild from brokenness and uncover strength through creation. This commitment extends beyond her studio through her CIC, where she offers creative sessions that foster resilience and connection. Exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and galleries across the UK, her work continues to resonate with themes of survival, memory, and transformation.
