She is Thinking About the Flammable Nature of Things is Laura Põld’s first solo show in Latvia, hosted by LOOK! Gallery. The exhibition features new installations and objects that Põld has constructed by mixing such materials as ceramics, steel, and textiles to investigate the nuanced layers of corporeality and vulnerability.
For many years, Laura Põld has been interested in the agency and expressiveness of materials and media. Her works intertwine organic and artificial materials, referencing the fragility of matter and drawing attention to different layers of temporality. Alongside materiality and craftsmanship, her approach embraces technical failures, welcoming the unpredictability of life with an ironic and contemplative commentary on the challenges of navigating existence.
