Laura Eldret has a disparate artistic practice that includes performance, sculpture, installation, interventions and drawings. She is also a freelance curator, workshop facilitator and co-founder of the CollectingLiveArt campaign.

Best exemplified as a metronome swinging from one aspect to the other, alleviating one manifestation with another from a contradictory stance, my practice aims to root one in the inherent polarities of moments in time and space.

I have a practice that encompasses collaboration, performance, interventions ephemera and object. I look to un-fetishise the object engaging with audience as an intrinsic part to a work, orchestrating engagement, flooding a moment. I antidote the intangible by exploiting the physicality and inherited meanings of amassed materials punctuating spaces - demanding attention and aspiring to command space. 

I deconstruct and then reconstruct dualities, the pull and the push. I am intrigued by the elusive instant that "art" actually occurs - in the mind of the artist, in the head of the spectator, when words are written, letters read, ideas thought, with production of items, forming of memories, creation of documents, delivery of anecdotes, the gap in between. Unavoidably I find myself romanticising the paradoxes I find delight in exploring. - Laura Eldret, September 2009
