Atelier Monday run by 16 Nicholson Street Gallery was a 3 month residency programme for emerging artists in Glasgow.

The aim of Atelier Monday was to share ideas and as a group investigate ways of seeing and talking about our practices, things that inspire us, and critical awareness. The core of the programme is the one on one meeting each participant has with their appointed mentor alongside group meetings, studio visits and discussions throughout the programme.

During this time Leila was exploring the materiality of sculpture through video works. A new endeavour that has pushed her practice into new realms of exploration and experimentation.

'Occluded Apparition' 2017, video animation, resin, hair, and steel sculpture
