Laura Burcin

I create handwoven tapestries that serve as platforms for social commentary. My work begins with bold, intentional use of color to draw the viewer in, followed by design elements that reveal deeper messages. Through weaving, I explore complex societal issues, using the slow, deliberate nature of the medium to reflect the layered conversations within each piece. In a time marked by division, upheaval, and rapid change, I believe that art has a vital role to play in confronting social issues and fostering dialogue.

Tapestry, with its historical roots in storytelling, allows me to respond thoughtfully to the world around me. By weaving together color, technique, and message, I aim to create work that not only invites reflection but also encourages awareness and action.
