Laura Waldusky

Laura Waldusky’s work embraces the impermanence and fragility inherent in both nature and the human experience. Her practice involves drawing hundreds of colored pencil lines onto paper. Waldusky’s drawings exert a sense of control through precise marks, yet the process often invites unpredictability, as accidental movements disrupt the lines. This dynamic tension between control and chaos is a recurring theme in her work.

Waldusky further heightens the drama of her creative process by incorporating wet folding techniques inspired by origami. Once the drawing is completed, she reshapes the surface through bends and folds, transforming the flat plane into an anthropomorphic, sculptural form. This transformation embraces the unknown, with decisions made swiftly and the outcome only revealed at the final moment. Her works defy conventional display methods, allowing for multiple interpretations and arrangements, and often have familial qualities, with pieces created in pairs or sets that share a visual DNA but evolve individually.

Laura Waldusky’s work has been recognized internationally, with recent exhibitions at venues such as Avant-Art Gallery in Houston, the Visual Art Open in London, and The Gallery at Green & Stone. She has participated in  art fairs, including the Affordable Art Fair in London and Aqua Art in Miami, and was the winner of the 2023 Visual Art Open for Illustration and Drawing. Her works continue to evolve, presenting a constant dialogue between permanence and impermanence, control and surrender.
