Laura Waldusky

Laura Waldusky is an American artist living in the UK. In 2001 she graduated with an MFA from Parsons School of Design in NYC. Her powerful, large works on paper are depictions of her real-life experiences and, sometimes painful, emotions that she desires to express. She has shown her art internationally and her work is in private collections in the USA, UK, EU and UAE.

Artist about her work: “Time. Nature. Fragility. The familial. These recurring themes loop on a track that plays out and repeats with each work, no matter the scale of the piece. The analog recording of a timeline of events on paper presses into the surface like worn vinyl records that have been played over and over. There is a fragility in working with drawing instruments on a malleable surface that can be ripped or scarred. It is these imperfections that give character and interest. Accidental bends or folds are embraced instead of rejected. Creases and wrinkles become a part of the story of the creation. Some imperfections are visible from the front, some from the back. All serve as commentary on the human condition. The use of pencils and other drawing instruments aids in exerting control over this temperamental medium. There is a false sense of control as the hand can slip or a movement in a line be disrupted. The energy exerting the force in the drawing process ebbs and flows. We are never truly in control of anything."
