LAURA ROSENGREN DIRECTOR 2021 24 x 30” Media: Oil on panel https://laurarosengren.com/ https://www.instagram.com/lauralrosengren ARTIST BIO My practice involves a mixed material approach to painting and considers how motherhood might enlarge and re-invigorate, rather than limit artistic practice. Much of my research these last few years has taken place at home, using the physical actions and constraints of this space to bring a new attention to how I make paintings. My practice is mapped by rapid calculations and measurements – the length of a TV show or nap, the space between meals and baths. I am concerned with how the realities of care-giving, such as constant interruptions, and diverted attention shape rhythms of making.
PROJECT STATEMENT “Director” has to do with the way we perform our ideas of gender, relationship and parenting in everyday actions and rituals. Transposing the performance and rituals of domestic labour into painting both highlights unseen work but also undermines painting’s legacy of masculinity with its heroic and solitary gestures.
