Lauren Shields
My practice is fundamentally based around creating site-responsive photographic work, which not only draws upon and captures a specific place, but also amplifies and embodies it. My processes often involve incorporating physical elements of my subjects, allowing them to make some sort of impression or have its own voice within the work. These processes often result in one-off, unique photographic objects such as photograms and polaroids. This unique quality, and the materiality of photography is a significant element of my work, partly due to my subjects, which are often surrounded with ideas of loss.
