Laura Purcell is a multidisciplinary artist with a practice in visual and performing arts spanning 20 years. Her performance and art-making methods relate to costume, textiles, soft sculpture, improvisation, photographs and video. Her soft-sculpture explores structural qualities activated by performing bodies or the immediate environment. The artwork, costume, sound suit and extension to the body becomes a poetic energetic exploration. She threads and unravels tensions between personal, environmental, and historical manifestations of invisible labour, care and equity.
Laura Purcell exhibits Meet Me Here as part of our Little Gallery Emerging Artist Program
