“Laurie Lamborelle's work focusses on humanity and turns our innermost selves inside out.
She creates landscapes that resemble a flowing membrane like a protective cover or a second skin.
Her reliefs appear sensual, fragile and vulnerable, exposing the layers of the earth's surface. The multidimensionality she lends to the materials allows us to look through different horizons into a blurred depth. You can only guess the bottom.
For us humans, this shows the beauty in the shades as well as its vulnerability. If you move in front of her creations, a constantly changing dimension emerges due to the changing incidence of light and makes the material appear alive. The viewer's perspective determines the effect of the image and thus becomes a flowing movement that is not static, not tangible, not unambiguous. Subjective and open decisions become possible…” Catherine Janke.
Laurie Lamborelle lives and works as a freelance fashion designer in Luxembourg City. After studying fashion design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and pattern making at the London College of Fashion, she followed internships with Hussein Chalayan and Preen in London and A.F.Vandevorst in Antwerp.
Back in luxembourg, she creates clothes and textiles under her own name.
In parallel to her creations she collaborates on occasional projects in the fields of costume design, textile design or visual arts among others.
