In this episode, we speak with Lauren Woods, the recipient of the 2022 McClure-Scanlin Visual Artist Residency Award. Woods is an Assistant Professor of Art & Art History at Auburn University. She is an artist whose practice and creative research explore the concept of mythic time. Artworks become a space to examine notions of nostalgia, desire, power, beauty, death, and embodied expression. Personal myth is developed visually across various mediums such as painting, video, and dance performances. We spoke about her work, the power of art, and her residency at the LES Center.
