Laura Wait

Word forms as image are the primary focus of my art. I use words as marks and symbols, making layers to form history and depth of imagery. The words I use are often totally illegible, and rely on our intuitive connection with symbols. My influences include medieval illuminated manuscripts, Asian writing and modern graffiti.

I like to garden and cook.
