Lauren Ferguson
Artist
biog
Lauren Ferguson’s practice is primarily concerned with a sense of place which she develops through an in-depth exploration of the history, architecture and associated objects within spaces that she has a personal connection. Notions within the methodologies of Deep Mapping and psychogeography underpin Lauren’s research and have allowed her to develop a deeper and new found awareness for these places.
This year has seen Lauren’s work focus on the Edinburgh suburb of Colinton, which upon revisiting, has revived dormant childhood memories that through drawing and painting she has developed into a sequence of open narratives. These tales are deliberated through the lens of individual, collective and social memories.
