Lauren Fensterstock’'s three-dimensional artworks are imbued with mystery and wonder. Black and austere, each piece is opulent, ornamental and meticulously crafted. Using the history and visual language of gardens, Forays and Follies illustrates the artist’'s continued commingling of disparate but happily paired influences ranging from Robert Smithson, to French and English garden design, to Donald Judd and ladies leisure crafts of the 18th century. Fensterstock creates and shapes artificial earth, the objects that result are subtly sublime.

Lauren Fensterstock'’s work is housed in collections across the world. Her recent exhibitions include a solo show at the John Michael Kohler Art Center, The Contemporary Austin (formerly Arthouse- The Austin Museum of Art) and the San Francisco Museum of Craft and Design, among others.
