Lauren Drescher b.NYC 1962 currently lives between the French Pyrenees and Auckland, NZ. Her work includes printmaking, sculpture, installation and artist books.
Her print work freely juxtaposes elements of natural history with a range of personal symbols. The techniques are often derived from studio-based practices, but adapted for travel so that prints can be made ‘out of the suitcase’. She returns frequently to themes of lost connection with nature and often features imagery which evokes innate cultural cues and the symbolism of our collective unconscious. Her evolving bestiary is informed by mythology and folklore. Employing this compendium of creatures, she explores the sentience of animals and our complex relationship with nature.
She exhibits internationally.
