LAURA OXENDINE

Hello!

I am a visual artist with a multidisciplinary practice that integrates illustration, experimental video, poetry and macro photography.While highly abstract, basic shapes, lines and limited color palettes are crafted and, oftentimes, animated in such a way to allude to organic forms and movement. On occasion, visual effects are paired as audio reactive elements to create a surreal space that fluctuates between feeling familiar and otherworldly. The abstract nature of the work keeps the scenes or illustrations open-ended, mysterious and suggestive.I am also co-owner and Creative Operations Director at Thrown Light - a fun-sized video studio owned and operated by myself and my husband/creative director, Brian Campbell. As Thrown Light, we create creative video content for a number of different areas - nonprofits, academic and scientific institutions, white label agency work, video game trailers and live visuals for DJs and bands.I am also a complete plant-nerd and will be expanding upon my interests by integrating herbalism into my practice early next year.I hold a MFA in Photography, Video and Related Media from the School of Visual Arts (NY, NY).
