About Laura

My mixed-media collage works at the intersection of punk rebellion and ancient mysticism, through my latest collection of pieces based on the Major Arcana.

I tear apart 1950s Cold War imagery taken from vintage magazines from the Western world, questioning their intent and stereotypes before I build bold, illustrative figures from the wreckage. My work collides atomic-age optimism with contemporary unease, playing with parallels between the two.

I reimagine the archetypes of Tarot: each piece becomes a place where past and present implode into one another, revealing recurring cycles of fear, hope and identity.

Bold and graphic from a distance, dense and unsettling up close. Embedded within the surface, fragments of forgotten narratives - advertisements, headlines, letters and images - fracture the illusion, inviting the viewer to look again and question what has been constructed, and why.

My art asks questions, and hints at possible answers. The audience is given the role of mediator, aligning their world view with what has been revealed in the piece.
