Laurence’s artistic work, rooted in drawing, deals with the act of image reconstructing.
Through digital assembly of collected natural world patterns (botanical forms, city structures) she builds a composite cartography of a landscape. Once the first draft of landscape printed and glued onto canvas, she starts to overlay collages of materials fabricated upstream. (She creates texturised palettes with white paste worked in relief and inks.)
Thus, through a long and meticulous process of stratification of materials, Prorok builds the link between the printed forms and the organic forms that are deposited there. She works from the particular in order to get to the global whose endpoint is not known to her but anticipated. She seeks a balance, a circulation. When the relationship between both printed and organic areas has shaped a coherent landscape, she stops with the sensation that she has finally got there.
