18" x 24" Silkscreen on found map.
While in residence at Anchor graphics in Chicago I began a series on waterways and humanity’s impact on the freshwater fish population. In my practice I often re-use and re-visit past prints. I have begun to revisit this series through the lens of a Hudson Valley resident. The constant regeneration, repetition and reimagining of imagery mimics how the same water molecules have cycled through different phases endlessly since there has been water present on earth.
Water towers, plumbing pipes, topographical maps, sewers and bathroom faucets are all layered on top, below and within the human excretory system, nursing babies and wombs. The micro of our bodies and the macro of the natural world, as well as the systems that urban life is dependent upon, is endlessly fascinating and connected.

She is a consultant for projects within the field of social justice, abolition, youth leadership and the arts, most specifically I Am Why. She co-founded Artistic Noise first in Boston in 2001 and then in New York in 2008. As a social practice visual artist Lauren works in community with others to create transformative spaces and experiences. In 2023 Lauren co-founded Roll Out, a printmaking collective committed to community, creativity, education and printmaking for all. Lauren has taught and led community-based art projects in many varied settings including schools, museums, detention centers and community organizations both nationally and internationally.
