Laura Buchanan.

Laura explores ideas and methods that trigger feelings of nostalgia through a series of experimental textiles and mixed media pieces. Her work demonstrates the tension between familiarity and innovation, referencing timeless textile patterns and traditional crafts whilst practicing new and innovative techniques.

The hand and its abilities are often forgotten in the current digital age therefore, it is important that the process of making and experimenting with traditional techniques and ideas to make innovative and contemporary outcomes, is at the forefront of her work.
