    Hello, I’m Lauren — a contemporary textile artist based in Sheffield. Through slow, mindful stitching, I weave colour, texture, and emotion into fabric — a meditative escape and a form of self-expression. My art celebrates sustainability, nature, craftmanship, and the beauty of creating simply for the joy of it.

    I am a London based artist who uses photography, digital manipulation, and sound to create images, video, and installations. Searching beneath the surface by unpacking the layers that we keep secure is a fundamental aspect of my work. Often nostalgic, sometimes beautifully melancholic, I make tender unsettling images drawn from my reflections of human behaviour.
