LAUREN MASON
About
Interested in analogue processes and equipment, Lauren plays in its crossovers with the digital world. Using the camera, or anything with a similar function, she attempts to draw attention to the overlooked, questioning why things are the way that they are.
Attracted to popular culture and archive material, Lauren amalgamates her documents with appropriated resources to create the works. The process translates medium specificities, often in rigorous (somewhat pointless) ways. Digital pieces move backwards, only to come forwards again. Analogue works join with the screen, then to be rendered back into tactile pieces.
Lauren holds a BA in Photography from The University of Brighton (2017-2020).
b.1994 in Coventry (UK), she is now a Brighton based artist.
