Laurence Briat's mixed-media collages present a striking exploration of the human experience. Her work is a fusion of handwritten notes, weathered paper, fragments of envelopes, vintage photographs, and rough graphite strokes. The ephemeral quality of memory, coupled with the relentless march of time, imbues Briat's work with an undeniable sense of urgency. Each collage serves as a portal, inviting the viewer to confront their own experiences and emotions, forging an intimate bond that transcends the boundaries of the yellowed paper. In a world increasingly characterized by digital interactions, Briat's tactile works offer space for introspection and contemplation.
