Emily Lazerwitz
London, UK
London-based US artist and mathematician Emily Lazerwitz primarily explores the intersection of art, craft, technology and language in her work. Most of all, she creates intriguing pieces where language is broken down and transcribed, with the legibility present, yet seemingly abstract. Importantly, in her work, Lazerwitz is concerned with the way technology shapes the direction in which language develops.
Consequently, her recent work has touched on gun fatalities in the US, global terrorism and censored CIA documents from the FOIA archives.
