Laura White lives and works in London. Her practice brings together sculpture and video.
Addressing the relationship between images and objects from a mediated and detached experience of an image to a direct engagement with an object Laura combines images with objects to explore the way we read and view our environment in particular the natural world. From watching television and cinema, scanning through images in magazines and on the internet, to a longing and nostalgia for first hand experience, to engage through touch and smell and reconnect with the environment on some level.

Images both moving and static sampled from mixed sources are shattered and distorted by direct confrontation with objects or other matter in the space, encouraging the viewer to reflect and explore the artifice within the imagery. For example, projected images of animals are literally disrupted by everyday objects, distorting your understanding and relationship with the images used in the work.
The play between image and object toys with both mediated and direct experience reflecting the dilemma and confusion we have to how we can and cannot experience the natural world within a consumerist driven world.
