The Light Within
Laura Earle
ArtistLaura Earle’s work explores interactivity – how the attitude and shape of an exhibit or an artwork sculpts our internal and external space, and how our internal space shapes our attitudes and actions. She makes exhibits and artwork that invite people into a larger narrative, to consider pivot points. Earle is interested in how art starts a conversation and becomes a catalyst for building community and shifting meaning. These sculpted conversations focus on social justice issues such as gender equality (Dear Womanhouse), racial equality (Unraveling Racism: Seeing White) and reversing global warming (Drawdown).
