Miles Lauterwasser: From Within, From Without

About the artist:

Miles Lauterwasser uses printmaking, primarily woodcut and etching, and installation to explore cyclical states of change in relation to environment and the self. These themes are explored in evocative, dissonant work that requires resolution on the part of the viewer. Image plays an important role in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional work. Curious perspectives and dissonant surfaces provides a framework for environments that subvert conventional space. Ephemeral elements appear in isolation, as if held out of time or coming into being before the viewers eyes. Obvious narrative is obscured and is replaced by a liminal space in which the viewer is asked to fill in fragmented parts with their own mental debris, informed by personal experience. These spaces reflect the nonlinear structures of the unconscious mind in which free form associations are made using fragmented elements, guided by a hidden hierarchy.

In 2022, Lauterwasser completed MA Fine Art: Printmaking at Camberwell College of Art and was awarded the East London Printmaker’s Excellence in Printmaking Award, the Bainbridge Studio Award and The Printmakers Council Award.
