Laura Elizabeth Harris' work is based around the female form and what it’s like to be a woman of a certain age. The artist is particularly interested in ideas surrounding how women look, think and feel, as well as concepts and constructs such as societal norms, body augmentation and reality TV.
The artist is nostalgic for an age before social media - a time when technology played a lesser role in our social correspondence. Recording and interpreting life in its raw and unrefined state: the post-coital encounter in the bedroom, the heady euphoria of the party; the artist is interested as much in the situation itself, as in the choreography of that situation.
Each work relates to an incident or distorted reality that the artist has either witnessed or imagined, and so in that respect the work is autobiographical.
Laura Elizabeth Harris holds a BA in Fine Art from the University of the West of England, as well as an MA in Management with Creative Industries from the University of London. The artist has an auction record, having sold at Christie's in London, as well as a number of exhibitions, having shown her work at Gallery 54 in Mayfair and at No Format gallery in Deptford, London.
