she/her
Lauren (b. 1999, Dumfries and Galloway) is a multidisciplinary artist
based in Glasgow.
Spanning across her works, Lauren uses methods of abstraction and
reconfiguration of archived material to investigate the relationships
women obtain with nature, societal constructs and selfhood, whilst
often using personal documentation to examine subjective
experiences of memory and technology.
Lauren’s practice reinforces the understanding that technological
mediation is inseparable from lived experience; it is a structure
through which identity, sexuality and power are continuously formed
and reformed, both positively and negatively. By working between
analogue and digital processes, She is able to observe how these
systems shape us at both intimate and societal levels. By
dissecting materials, Lauren exposes how meaning is constructed,
therefore making her practice a method for interrogating these relationships
while simultaneously reinventing new forms of womanhood.
In 2025, Lauren was shortlisted for the Shape Arts × Baltic Emergent
Programme and is currently undertaking the professional
development support offered through Emergent. She is developing a
new adaptation of her 2024 work Uncorroborated, which will be
exhibited at Strangefield, Glasgow, in January 2026
based in Glasgow.
