Laura Macintyre is a Wayne State trained artist who is inspired by the physical environment of Detroit and the nature of its cyclical evolution.  Detroit has a rich history of a thriving natural landscape that has been superimposed by industry, only to see that industry decline and the natural world begin to resurface.  Her paintings explore this intersection between industrial decline and the reemergence of the natural world.  Her sculptural work explores this same intersectionality.  She uses the industrial process of mass production to form her works but she does it with the simple materials and energy sources that can be found ready made in nature. Most of all, Laura is interested in the ideas of change and of time.

The reception will take place on August 12th from 6pm-10pm.
