Laurie Lax is another artist that participated in the Cow House Studios residency. She also does video, performance, and installation work, but I really like these pencil drawings. I see connections to both Lauren (Blair) and Olivia's work in the top two pictures--plants and nature for both, and large scale drawing for Lauren.
The bottom three are from a series based on a video the artist took on the boat across to Ireland. There's just enough ambiguity that they don't really need to be depicting anything, but you can see the water droplet on the lens, and all of them have the 'horizon line' composition. (and as a sort of side note, I think the white frames add to the lightness of the pieces. had they been black, it wouldn't be bad... but it wouldn't be as good)
