Lauren Winter

​

Exploring vulnerability and separation, Lauren Winter’s practice uses material tension to map the distance from homeland (the remembered space of where she came from) and the physical reality of where she is. Her repetitive, ritualistic process draws on sacred imagery, spaces and generational craft. She addresses the silent spaces left by language barriers by establishing a more physical dialogue through material: looping, chaining, folding, layering, pressing. Each repetitive action leads to a more inherent understanding of materials and their capabilities, it is the act of making that becomes a visual representation of time and distance, trying to materialise a yearning for interactions and places that only exist within memories.
