Janet Laurence is one of the most established and respected Australian artists of her generation. For over forty years she has been producing paintings, sculptures, photography, site-specific installations and architectural intervention. Laurence is not an artist easily categorised; her work skirts the boundaries of art, science, architecture, nature, the imagined world, history and memory. Laurence examines the complex relationships between natural environments and organic phenomena with manmade constructions and the built environment. When referencing architectural forms or the practice of photography, Laurence maintains a distinct sense of the organic and creates a transient hybrid form which corresponds neither solely to the laws of nature or science. Like an alchemist, Laurence displays a fascination with blending materials, resulting in poetic, thought provoking pieces.
