Lauren Aldridge @ Jupiter Artland, Wilkieston

Laura Aldridge’s extraordinary installation LAWNMOWER creates a space “Where materiality might absorb or encourage certain feelings.”

The work combines luscious colour and sensual texture with handmade and collaged qualities. Richly glazed ceramics, elements sculpted in modroc and fishing floats are illuminated among soft folds of fabric. Aldridge creates a “Push and pull between dualities, such as synthetic versus natural and object versus subject, whereby the tension lies in the viewer’s very own experience.”

LAWNMOWER also premieres a series of new video works that Aldridge has made in collaboration with artists and musicians from her creative community.
