简介

Working with and nurturing eccentric positions and spaces, Laurel's work highlights perception, uncertainty, and public display. Attending to themes at the crossroads of consciousness + social conditions, meta-physics + science, Laurel’s practice investigates perceptual phenomena, stage and screen space, the built and imagined environment, and affect. Employing a range of media and presentation strategies, Laurel's video and public projects often enlist commercial, neglected, and civic spaces in efforts to contribute meaningfully to the cultural landscape. She is a professor of art at the University of California Santa Barbara.
