Lauryn Smith

Lauryn Smith is a third year MFA candidate in Visual Arts. She was born and raised in rural Northern New York, and received her BFA in Fine Arts from Cornell University in 2018. Lauryn is a sculptor working with textiles and various sewing techniques and applications. Her practice is based around craft and material as well as concepts of memory, landscape, and phenomenological experiences. She cares deeply about the process of making, and though her work often demands repetitive and laborious construction, the small details within each piece are carefully selected for their overall contribution to the work. Each of Lauryn's works deals with its own set of concepts, but all of them are connected to craft, traditional practices of quilting, the body, movement, and the natural environment.

In her studio, Lauryn experiments with various fabrics, fibers, dyes, sewing techniques, and more. Below you will find several images from this studio practice in process.
