LAURA TRUITT

Much of my work has to do with perspective. Linear perspective, surely, but also our emotional and collective perspective of landscape and personal space. The underlying conflict in my work is generated by climate change, land abuse and over consumption of all kinds, my own included. The borders and edges of images and objects illuminate barriers as well as showing us current paths of entry.
