Morton Fine Art

Washington, DC b. USA
A Washington, DC native, Laurel Hausler’s love of literature, antiquity and the absurd inspire the stories behind her work. Working in a subtractive process, she first covers the surface of her paper or canvas with multiple layers of paint, and then removes the layers to reveal the subject. Admired for resisting a self-conscious approach to process, the artist reveals lines, scratches, rips and gestures on her surfaces that demonstrate her decision-making process through the work’s evolution to its finished state.
