Janet Laurence

Well-known for her installations and public art commissions that engage with architectural and biological forms, Janet Laurence is fascinated by the interplay of plant species, animals and people. In her work, represented in all major collections in Australia, Laurence constructs atmospheric spaces that allow for deep reflection on questions of ecology and extinction. Here, Prudence Gibson surveys Laurence's BioArt, and her radical interpretation of humanity's relationship with the world.
