Laura Davis creates art that disrupts traditional notions of value by merging found and fabricated materials within the realms of art, design, and craft. Originally trained in metalsmithing and enameling, her interest in jewelry shifted from aesthetic to psychosocial meaning. Davis explores the material culture of the aftermarket through the lens of her lived experience as a middle-aged woman in the Midwest, delving into the emotional connections we form with objects and images. In doing so, her work critically reflects the effects of late capitalism on these relationships.
