Lauren Berkowitz

 

Statement

Lauren Berkowitz is an Australian installation artist, working mostly with ephemeral and site-specific works that evoke the passage of time and our place within it. Berkowitz’s art is one of retrieval, of natural and found materials, of modernist art from the 60’s and 70’s as well as connections to her Jewish heritage. Often inspired by the landscape but troubled by its degradation, she recycles materials and themes into environmental narratives as an act of regeneration.
