Bio
Laura Marsh’s oeuvre is woven in the intimacy of a memory, a family history. Seasoned in the craft and industry of the act of sewing – a tradition in her family that spans two generations – Marsh has developed a body of textile work that reflects her here-and-now. Best known for her pennants, with their inimitable visual presence, vibrant colors, trenchant phrases, and textile patterns that activate landscapes of memory, Marsh values textile as language and gesture.
Laura Marsh (b.1982 Miami) received her MFA from Yale University School of Art and a BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art. Marsh has exhibited nationally at venues including The Whitney Museum of American Art, Printed Matter, Field Projects, Newman Popiashvili Gallery, Tilton Gallery in NY, Locust Projects, and Deering Estate in Miami. In addition, she has been an artist in residence at Oolite Arts (Miami Beach, US), Mana Contemporary (Miami, US), and Siena Art Institute (Siena, Italy).
