About:

Lauren Fiasconaro is a visual artist working primarily in experimental and alternative photographic processes. She often creates work on her rooftop in Philadelphia, PA using plant matter and negatives. Her home studio is powered by a mix of solar, wind and low impact hydro energy.

Lauren graduated from Pratt Institute with a BFA in Photography and minors in Sustainable Studies and Art History, and has since exhibited domestically as well as online. In 2024, she was awarded a grant by the Puffin Foundation for an upcoming project “Plant Based Portraits”. Lauren’s work appears in private collections in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Colorado.

Artist Statement:

My work explores the complex relationships of humans and nature from an ecocentric point of view. It is often driven by concerns with climate change and environmental degradation.

Focusing on alternative and experimental photographic processes, I continually seek to evolve my practice by using sustainable materials and minimizing waste.

My small scale pieces evoke the dichotomies of beauty and darkness, power and fragility, eternity and transience within a warming world.
