she/her
Lauren (b. 1999, Dumfries and Galloway) is a multidisciplinary
artist based in Glasgow. In 2021, she exhibited her series
n00oodies at Photo London, Somerset House. More recently, in
2026, Lauren completed the shortlisted Shape Arts × Baltic
Emergent Residency Programme and exhibited work at
locations such as Strange Field and Many Studios in Glasgow,
and Vespers Club in London.
In her work, primarily focussed on video and sound installation
and collage, Lauren uses reconfiguration and abstraction of
archival material to investigate relationships with non-nature,
societal constructs, technological systems, and memory. Her
practice considers technological mediation as inseparable from
lived experience, functioning as a structure through which
identity, memory, sexuality, and ecology are continuously
formed and reformed.
Through the dissection and surreal reconstruction of visual and
sonic material, her work destabilises fixed forms of meaning
and representation, creating uncanny, unfamiliar bodies and
nebulous environments that subvert anthropocentric and
patriarchal narratives.
