Laura M R Harrison's work tracks water courses, from the hills to the sea and the range of emotional effects their turbulent and quiet spaces provoke. Characteristically, she films during the hours of darkness where sound plays as important a part as what is seen. In the fieldwork and later through her installations, Laura adjusts and recalibrates our relationship to a physical world beyond our control. Laura’s installation Suspended, showing at the Old Fire Station, Carlisle, is the result of a six-month project reflecting on flooding events in Carlisle for the Immersion/Emergence residency.
I am an artist living in North Cumbria working in predominantly installation-based video and sound, and specialise in the use of alternative spaces for exhibiting. I am currently studying part-time for a PhD by Art Practice at the University of Cumbria.
