Lara Thomas
Lara Thomas is a multi-disciplinary Auckland-based artist, educator, writer and curator. Lara completed her BFA (Hons) at Elam School of Fine Arts in 2016. She also holds a BA in Art History and Philosophy from the University of Auckland. Lara comes from a background in education and is passionate about learning and teaching.
Lara’s creative practice spans ceramics, printmaking and sculptural installation, often combining these different modes of working. The works she creates are a response to her local environment and the mutually influential relationship we have with it. Found natural and waste materials play a key role in her work, which is inspired by collecting, botany, environmental philosophy and sustainability.
