Laura Fisher is a Paris-based artist, bookmaker, and professor, working interdisciplinarily in drawing, printmaking, lens-based media, and textiles.
Her work explores issues of situated grief, figurative memory, and ecologies of war. This often begins with in-situ research, working with sensitive histories by consulting archives, testimony, and community members through a collaborative process of listening, witnessing, and knowledge-sharing, and incorporating materials and techniques that are tied to a specific place through their unique history and physical properties.
Artist's books and photo books are an integral part of her artistic practice, where text and language are often employed as a means of visual poetry, and to amplify often underrepresented lived experiences.
Through interdisciplinary means such as photography, video, drawing, and textiles, I explore issues of figurative memory, situated death, and ecologies of war. My work, often grounded in oral and written testimony, focuses on lesser-told stories in order to amplify underrepresented lived experiences, deconstruct the ripples of intergenerational trauma, and reposition history toward a more dialectical, human-centered standpoint.
