About.
Laura Kristine Graham Anderson.
I am a cross-disciplinary artist working in theatre/performance, photography and film.
My most recent works are: the art video WINDY BEACH and a photography book titled Oddview: a performative exploration of sculpture. I am currently developing different film projects as well as doing research for a larger project, which I suspect will manifest into several works. This project includes research on identity, biological and cultural legacy, transcendence of trauma, race and hysteria.
Education:
BA Drama (First Class) Queen Mary University of London.
Artist Statement:
In my work, I am interested in the relationship between live art, theatre and recorded performance; Spoken text, choreographed movement and the body in space.
I often employ tasks, systems and formal structures to create logic within a piece.
I am interested in how social and artistic conventions generate expectations around what is (re)presented and how.
I enjoy making work that is concise, but layered; simple, but evolving.
I am to make work that is visually striking using text and sound in order to create an aesthetic.
I am excited by semantics and juxtapositions: the potential for multiple meanings and continuous shifts.
I am passionate about politics and power relationships, meta-theatre and alienation.
I love the overly serious, the dramatic and the deadpan and I use these strategies to create humorous elements in my work.
I am inspired by art works and artists; concepts and stillness.
