Lauren Schleider

Visual Art – New York - NYC

Lauren Schleider was born and raised in Baltimore, MD and currently resides in Brooklyn, NY. She received her BA in Studio Art and Anthropology from the University of Rochester in 2011. Her work illustrates imagined landscapes of the inside of the body, drawing on different tensions between health and sickness, control and lack thereof. Equally cathartic and neurotic, she combines organic and synthetic materials to draw on universal bodily experiences. All of her stains are handmade from foods and medicines, adding actual lifelines to the works themselves. www.laurenschleider.com
