Lauren Maryam Moradi is an interdisciplinary artist working in Portland, OR.
Using craft to alter and mend familiar objects, Moradi’s work investigates concepts of domestic failure and bodily shortcomings through both the alteration and destruction of functionality. Abject humor and the absurd are woven into her work as a means of communicating insidious realities that permeate our social climate - while inviting laughter they simultaneously serve as softly cutting reminders of visceral fragilities.
Born in Orlando, FL, Moradi received her BFA from University of South Florida in 2012 and her MFA from California State University Northridge in 2021.
