Laura creates colorful, representational collages by upcycling magazines and books she salvages from recycling bins.
ABOUT LAURA
Born into an artistic and musical family, Laura Shabazz was destined to ‘make things.’ Upcycled collage was born from both material necessity and the need to reconstitute herself after a lengthy bout with deep depression. By reclaiming and reframing discarded stories and images, Laura was also able to reclaim and reframe the discarded bits of herself.
