Laureen Burlat sýnir í Spönginni.
Að búa á Íslandi hefur haft stórfelld áhrif á störf Laureen, bæði sem umhverfisfræðing og listakonu. Eftir rúman áratug af allskyns listatilraunum og umhverfistengdum rannsóknum byrjaði hún að fókusa á útsaum.
Á tímum þar sem allt þarf að gerast strax sker útsaumurinn sig úr. Með einu spori í einu hefur Laureen náð að skapa margbrotin verk sem spegla flóru Íslands. Verkin eru aldrei plönuð fram í tímann heldur verða til í gegnum árstíðabundnar minningar sem leiða til sköpunar alls kyns litasamsetninga, áferðar og mynsturs sem hún finnur í náttúrunni.
Sýningin Jarðtenging (Grounded) er fyrsta sýning listakonunnar og er afrakstur fjögurra ára vinnu. Öll vinnan fór fram í Hveragerði þar sem Laureen býr.
Sýningin opnar fyrir almenning þriðjudaginn 3. febrúar en formleg sýningaropnun verður laugardaginn 7. febrúar kl 13:00.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Living in Iceland has had a huge impact on Laureen Burlat's work, both as an environmental scientist and as an artist. After a good decade of all kinds of artistic experiments and environmentally related research, she began to focus on embroidery.
In an age where everything has to happen immediately, embroidery stands out. One stitch at a time, Laureen has managed to create intricate works that reflect the flora of Iceland. The pieces are never planned in advance but are created through seasonal memories that lead to the creation of all kinds of color combinations, textures, and patterns that she finds in nature.
Grounded is the artist's first exhibition and is the result of four years of work. All the work was created in Hveragerði, where Laureen lives.
The exhibition opens to the public on Tuesday, February 3rd, but the formal opening will be on Saturday, February 7th at 1:00 PM.
