About

Lauren’s work explores themes of preservation and memories through the use of carefully chosen media, including family photo archives and objects of sentimental importance. This combination of research based practice and experimentation is used to provoke contemplation and quiet reflection. She primarily works with collage, print, textiles and artist books.

Lauren is a studio artist at The Old Fire Station in Oxford.

Very excited about starting this weekly project in collaboration with @scissorspaperpaste more to share in the near future 🃏#collage #collageart #collaboration
I’ve been making these sweet little books with patients at the Highfield over the past week. We made the marble paper and then I taught them how to make the pages from just one sheet of A3 paper. Tomorrow is my last day working at the hospital and I’m really going to miss doing this sort of creative therapeutic work #bookbinding #concertinabook #marblepaper #marbling #arttherapy #therapeutic #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapyassistant
