Lauren Vroegindewey, multimedia artist and humanitarian born in Sonora, California is a performance artist, video artist, sculptor, and painter exploring notions of sustainability and vulnerability often using her body as a tool. Shown locally and internationally; her most recent accomplishments entail her award winning film My Bed for best sound design and experimental short, her film Achromatic, Stream of Consciousness premiered at L.I. MoCA, her film Cleansing premiered at Costa Rica's La NoBienal, and a performance art piece exhibited at Ethan Cohen’s KuBe in Beacon, NY.
As an artist, I attempt to empathize with the human experience; parsing the relationship between organisms and bodily structures and what it might mean to bridge the gap between the natural and manmade. Often working intuitively and drawing inspiration from my past and the environment around me, my work can be seen as a narrative of personal trauma and the trauma the earth feels due to the human mark. It provides an experiential opportunity to challenge conventional perception, attempting to stimulate a mixture of sense experience and emotion to provoke a psychological response in the viewer that questions the choices we make daily.
