Get to know the artist
We asked Lauren Hubbard some questions to get to know her and her practice better.
What does the theme ‘Emergence’ mean to you/your practice?
The Artwork I have made for the theme of the festival is to portray the suggestion of a new creative thought. Often my work emanates from abstract thought and the need to physically process information in a three-dimensional way.
What do you love most about being a part of our festival?
I love a new challenge and having the opportunity to digitize my work is so exciting. To have worked alongside so many well-chosen artists and art groups and to see their work in the flesh will be such a treat.
What would you like the audience to take away from experiencing your work?
My work elicits totally different responses depending on the viewer: I hope the audience will take away a positive experience.
What message or emotion do you aim to convey through your work?
Curiosity, thought and a good dose of happiness.
Could you describe the feeling you get when you see your art resonating with people?
I’m absolutely stoked when my art resonates with people.
