Lauren McDougall is a multi-disciplinary artist, currently situated in Glasgow, Scotland.
Lauren works within the intricate depths of feminist frameworks, delving deep into the nuanced dynamics that define the relationships between women, theirselves, nature and the constructs of society.
At the heart of Lauren’s practice lies a surrealistic reinvention of the female form, culled from the archives of artworks, advertising, and the vast expanse of pornography.Through this juxtaposition and recontextualisation, Lauren embarks on an interrogation of the Western portrayals of women, both historic and contemporary, unraveling and reshaping the narratives that permeate cultural consciousness.
Lauren's methodology delves deeply into these themes, placing particular emphasis on the intersection with the digital era. In addition to fusing analogue techniques with digital processes in her artistic practice, she adeptly harnesses the pervasive influence of technology as a transformative lens.
