Janet Laurence: After Eden at Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation

Presenting a new commission for Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation (SCAF), Janet Laurence's work explores the poetics of space through the creation of works that deal with our experiential and cultural relationship with the natural world.  Her work echoes architecture while retaining organic qualities and a sense of instability and transience. It occupies the liminal zones or meeting places of art, science, imagination and memory. Profoundly aware of the interconnection of all life forms, Laurence often produces work in response to specific sites or environments using a diverse range of materials. Alchemical transformation and history are underlying themes.
