Lauren Haughey
is a multidisciplinary visual artist, writer and event organiser based in Dublin.
Her practice is mainly concerned with exploring our present historical moment; a time of increasing techno-cultural accexxleration and profound alienation and disembodiment. 
Any profound moment of change is flagged by an permeability of boundaries, and Haughey's practice places a magnifying glass on these intersections of identity and culture. Her work engages with themes of cyborgification; between nature, technology, humanity and culture.
She values magic and mythos, and engages with the inexplicable and illusory as a way of understanding the present world, and generating imaginations of new worlds to come.

Spiders
Sculpture series
These "spiders" are a series of experimental assemblages created through a process of handstorming. 
I intended to create work inspired by Donna Harraway's notion of the "Cthulucene"- a proposed epoch which is:
“made up of ongoing multispecies stories and practises of becoming-with in times that remain at stake, in precarious times, in which the world is not finished and the sky has not fallen – yet” (Haraway, 2016).

I explored materials tactiley, combining elements gathered through my personal scavenging process and engineering skeletons in response to the sway and gravity of the objects used.
The result is a series of tentacular, insectlike creatures who come from an imaginary realm. Through this process, I wanted to push myself to consider the world these beings might inhabit, and the kind of generative possibilities their cyborg forms provoke.34/98/5973
