Toronto-based artist, Laura Findlay’s most recent work focuses on the relationship between empathy, destruction, and creation through confrontations between naturalism and supernaturalism.

About

Tuff engages sublime volcanic forces as examined through an array of fragmentary information used to create subjective responses to events from extra-human history. Employing an ecology of mark-making incorporating additive and subtractive methods, she produces subjective recounts of real and imagined geologic events.

Laura Findlay received her MFA from the University of Guelph in 2014 and her BFA from Concordia University in 2011. Currently, she lives and works in Toronto, Ontario. Recent exhibitions include Echo Locations at Forest City Gallery in London, Ontario (2018), Vent at Evans Contemporary in Peterborough, Ontario (2018), Afire at Skylab Gallery in Columbus, Ohio (2018), Grounds at Brucebo Konstnärshemmet, Sweden (2017), Moving While Looking at Things That Do Not Move at The Kamloops Art Gallery (2017), Messengers at Zalucky Contemporary, Toronto (2017), and @--}--- at Lord Ludd, Philadelphia (2016). In 2017 she was the recipient of the Brucebo Fine Art Scholarship funding a four-month-long residency and accompanying exhibition in Gotland, Sweden. She has also participated in independent self-directed residencies at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity (2016) and the Vermont Studio Center (2011).
