BIO
Laurie Frick draws from neuroscience to construct intricately hand-built works and installations to explore the nature of pattern and the mind. She completed an MFA from the New York Studio School, and studied summers at NYU’s ITP technology and arts program. Formerly an executive in high-technology, she also holds an MBA from the University of Southern California. Using her background in engineering and high-technology she explores self-tracking and compulsive organization. She has been awarded numerous fellowships and residencies and has exhibited at Robert Steele Gallery in New York and Edward Cella in Los Angeles.
