Join JANET LAURENCE for an intimate artist talk, where she will discuss her commitment to a practice grounded in an alchemical language of care and empathy. Laurence’s work falls at the intersection of art, science, imagination, and memory, foregrounding the symbiosis and interconnection of organic elements and systems of nature.
The talk will focus on Laurence’s work Deep Breathing Resuscitation for the Reef, first exhibited in Paris during the United Nations Convention on Climate Change in late 2015. Laurence will also discuss her work with lost corals, and her recent exhibit The Burnt Sea at the Alfred Ehrhardt Stiftung Gallery, Berlin. Her continued focus on the fragility of the natural environment - especially in this time of catastrophe - reveals the ways that loving attention can invigorate generosity and action.
The talk will be introduced by Dr Tessa Laird, and will be followed by a Q&A.
