Laura Earle
Artist
Laura 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).

The Light Within
Guided by her practice of moving meditation to process lived experience and give shape to the intentions and hopes she has for the world, Olivia Guterson, along with fellow Jewish artist Laura Earle, designed and constructed solar-powered, recycled paper lanterns to shine light on the homeless situation in Detroit.Their interpretation of growth, resilience, and hope is embedded in the pattern of the lanterns. The lanterns served as beacons of light, beauty, hope and a reminder that there are no throw-away people or resources.
