Lara Mann

In my artistic practice, I calm an anxious mind by focusing on repetition.

Through a meditative multi-layered mixed media process, I escape inward and create compulsively.

My recent work explores inner visions and ruminations shaped by CPTSD. Window panes, spider webs, and pearl necklaces are among the ordinary objects that have captured my attention, embodying a fixation on what's close at hand. By turning inward to more contemplative subject matter, I am attempting to welcome my inner child into my creative space, allowing curiosity and grief to guide this new chapter of my practice.
