Laurel Gallagher is a visual artist and process-based researcher working across painting, textiles, photography, video and performance. Her method is cyclical and embodied: each work begins with action in a particular place and takes shape through reflection and story.

Her practice moves between an upper world of wild land, birds, families and community, and an underworld of cold water, the body, fabric and acts of care. Each brings its own knowledge and transformation. Her current research explores women, motherhood, ecology and care, using textile processes to create mythological spaces where experience can be recognised out of time.
