Lara Hailey

London-based artist Lara Hailey explores themes of love and loss, identity and memory through her multidisciplinary and mixed media artwork. Inspired by human relationships, provocative experiences, and the power of place, her work channels the energy of life’s memorable moments, evoking powerful feelings, often without overt or obvious subject matter. Fragments of text and found objects often find their way into her practice, troubling the distinctions between the visual, the poetic, and the everyday. Her working method is diverse, incorporating stitched textile, mixed media resin, installation, sculpture, prints and video.
