Laura Lasworth’s paintings refer alternately to concrete locations, personal journeys, and a variety of visual, literary, and biblical sources. These works are mostly from a series of paintings entitled The Western Wall . Each scene is set in a consis- tently sparse landscape/seascape inspired by a view of Puget Sound from the artist’s former Seattle apartment. While functioning inde- pendently as brief allegorical tales, the works also serve collectively as a kind of self-portrait of the artist at- taching her oeuvre to a specific lineage of spatial and narrative influences.
