BIO
Laurie Frick draws from neuroscience to construct intricately hand-built works and installations to investigate the nature of pattern and the mind. She holds an MFA from the New York Studio School and an MBA from the University of Southern California. Using her background in engineering and high-technology she explores self-tracking and human patterns. Frick recently was awarded residencies by the Neuroscience Research Center University of Texas, the Headlands, Yaddo and the Bemis Center. She is the winner of the Austin Critics Outstanding artist award in 2012. Frick’s talks and publications include The Huffington Post, Austin Statesman, Los Angeles Times, New Scientist, NPR Arts Eclectic and in 2013 a TED talk at TEDxAustin. This year she has solo exhibitions at Real Art Ways and upcoming at Oklahoma Contemporary. She is represented by Edward Cella in Los Angeles.
