Lauren Drescher, Mer(e), 2024 Drypoint and relief print on Japanese paper 12.5 x 9.5 inches Variable Edition Unframed $850 Lauren Drescher was born 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.
