Timelab
Facilitator
Somerset House
June 2022
Time Lab is a participatory installation where visitors are asked to deconstruct a piece of T I M E with an invitation to dismantle a broken or forgotten wristwatch or clock that belongs to them. Once dismantled audiences reconstruct the pieces to form an item of jewellery or sculpture that is theirs to take away and enjoy. Once participants finish their timepieces, they are photographed. A record of each person and piece created is held in the Time Lab archive.
The process aims for participants to be able to reflect on time as they dismantle the very tools of measuring the passing of time.

Archive of Us
Facilitator
Unit 5, Piccadilly Arcade
August 2021
Archive of Us is an interactive, contemporary archive. A socially engaged project that aims to explore our relationship with objects and our personal connections to them. Archive of Us invites participants to document an object and be part of an ever growing record that builds a picture of who we are & what makes up our individual and collective identities.
The Archive of Us project asks participants to record, reflect, and re-frame the everyday object, by logging chosen objects for the website and making a small collage memento to take away with them from the documentation..

Peelings is a work-in-progress project that deals with themes of cooking, food and familial love. During this gentle one-to-one encounter, Lauren leads visitors through the preparation of potatoes and carrots, including washing, peeling and chopping them. Together, they will explore how food can and has made us feel about care, nourishment and our bodies.

How Many
Creator
June 2020.
How Many was a project to create as much as I could in June 2020 during lockdown. Inspired by projects such as ‘New Project’ by RashDash, I wanted to create a space where I could play, explore and experiment.
