Laura Aurealis
At BAM! Art Market 2022, Laura installed the art piece “Floating Forest” from the ceiling!
Mixed media artist Laura Aurealis merges art and alchemy to create thoughtful, whimsical works of art layered with metaphor and meaning. Inspired by nature, spirituality and metaphysics, Laura’s work explores themes of transformation and rebirth. Her process driven approach to art making is deeply influenced by her background in art education, theatre and set building. Taking simple materials, infusing them with intention and creating rituals around her process, Laura transcends the everyday and infuses the mundane with magic.
Laura’s Origami Cicada installations have been featured in exhibitions and events for Young Audiences, Momentum Indoor Climbing Gym, Sofar Houston concert series and Understory HTX. Cicada Season, popping up at BAM will be Laura’s first “off the wall” experience. A Floating Forest of large scale abstract bark paintings, rolled into tree trunks, covered in origami cicadas and suspended from the ceiling will take viewers on a stroll through a mystical forest of transmutation.
