Laura Benson is a mixed media artist whose work entangles the mystic and grounding allure of the natural world with the constant uncovering of a personal mythos. This process involves considerations of a connective subconscious which interweaves humans present and past through imprintings of symbols and archetypes in the interior mind. Benson pieces together an internal landscape of sacred storytelling through often surreal and unsettling imagery using methods such as Gelli-plate printing, soldering, collage, jewelry-making, amongst others. Her work aims to hold a curiosity towards the significance of mystical symbolism that lingers inside of us and how it can inform our harrowing existence – even in the most subtle ways.
