ABOUT

Artist Statement 

lutruwita based artist and art therapist, Lauren Cassar forms a visual and conceptual language in an attempt to find footing amongst a repetitive, mundane home amidst the raw. 

Lauren’s intimate work contemplates the meeting of two contrary experiences – the domestic and the wild – in pursuit of a more balanced, grounded and connected way of being. With a visceral practice that subsumes experimentation across various material explorations – primarily painting and textiles – Lauren’s work appears at once in motion, yet pauses on the simple, instinctual practice of nesting.

Artist Bio

Lauren is an artist, a mother and qualified art therapist. She lives in southern lutwita with her family.

I acknowledge the Moomairremener people as the traditional owners of the land we live and work on and make a promise to care for country as it cares for me.

An ode to Mirador

Mirador by definition means to look: To take in an expansive view, to revel in magic that happens when one takes a moment to observe, to listen, to look beyond one's self. 

To stay true to Mirador as a namesake, Lauren gently pulls away from the structure of seasonal collections, and instead pours energy into creativity, art therapy, private practice and preservation, allowing the more tangible offerings of her practice to move through seasons and beyond.
