Lauren
Berkowitz
Lauren Berkowitz creates ephemeral and site-specific installations that evoke the passage of time, loss and renewal. Her work explores the poetic resonance of natural and man-made materials and their transformative qualities through light, volume and space. Constructed of found objects that commonly end up discarded as litter or as rubbish in landfill, Berkowitz embraces the history of the objects she uses, looking beyond the literal meaning of an object to what it could represent historically, spiritually or culturally. It is through her recycling of narratives and residual matter that a process of environmental regeneration becomes evident.
