As an artist, Laura Woermke aims to keep the mystery alive in her work as much as possible. This is reflected not only in the questions she asks through her work, but also asking the viewer to keep an open mind about how they engage the work. This honesty leads to new discoveries, new accidents, and further engagement with the questions.
Her work investigates the nuances of surveillance cameras, video clips, and day- time television. Through the use of recorded still images and close-ups, she enables the viewer to see beyond what the individual is intending to communicate and glimpses into secrets and private truths. Social, political, and psychological dramas gathered from the these sources are performed on the canvas.
As subtle derivatives become frozen through diligent and repetitive practice, the viewer is left with a voyeuristic statement on the edges of our condition.
