Lauren Drescher, Mermaid and the Big Fish II, 2025 Drypoint and relief print on Japanese paper 10.25 x 13 inches Variable Edition Unframed $850 Framed $1000 Lauren Drescher was bor n in New York City and now resides between Auckland, New Zealand and the French Pyrenees. Her work includes printmaking, sculpture and artist books. She uses techniques derived from studio-based practices, adapted for travel so the work can be carried in a suitcase. Freely juxtaposing elements of natural history with a range of personal symbols, the sentience of animals and our lost connection with nature are recurring themes. Recycling and found objects, such as antique paper, are often a catalyst for new projects. Over the past few years, her prints have been created using plant milk boxes as a matrix. The resulting Tetra-Pak prints are drypoint prints composed of a collage of elements. The Swimmers series began as drawings. There is a growing body of characters and elements that create a narrative. Most of her prints are unique or made in limited editions due to the transience of the materials.
