Laura McCarthy

I create 3 dimensional work that explores line, colour and geometry. I am interested in working with simple everyday materials such as wire and paper. I enjoy pushing beyond the usual expectations of how these media can be used, to try to create something striking, that perhaps seems to be more than the sum of its parts. These often take the form of hanging sculptures that can move and be appreciated from different angles and in different light conditions. Some of these are designed to be placed outdoors where the weathering process will further allow them to change and develop over time. My work is often focused on experimentation and I enjoy the process of challenging myself to work in innovative ways.
