Laura Splan's artwork examines the material manifestations of our cultural ambivalence towards the human body. Her conceptually based projects employ a range of traditional and digital techniques. She often uses found objects and appropriated sources to explore socially constructed perceptions of order and disorder. Much of her work is inspired by experimentation with materials and processes including blood, cosmetic facial peel, computerized embroidery, and digital fabrication. Splan's work has been exhibited at Museum of Art & Design (NYC), New York Hall of Science (NYC), and Beall Center for Art + Technology (Irvine, CA). She has been a visiting lecturer on intersections of Art, Science and Technology at Stanford University (Palo Alto, CA) and Mills College (Oakland, CA).
