Her work examines identity and representation, using her own body and those of her friends and family members to evoke everyday experiences, observations and memories. Her work acknowledges the difficulties of travelling from childhood to the realities of adulthood and the marks of change and time on the human body. Laura is also interested in the depiction of women, the effects of sunlight and portraiture throughout the history of art, film and photography. Winner of the 2012 ID Portraiture Award, Laura has also recently undertaken an artist residency at PICA in Perth.
