Artist & Designer | Salt Lake City, Utah
Laurie Anne Larson is an artist and designer based in Salt Lake City, Utah. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Film and Media Arts : Animation and a Master of Architecture from the University of Utah. Her work spans visual art, architecture, and design. Larson has exhibited locally and remains embedded in the Salt Lake City arts community. She works collaboratively with Bear River Press, for which she has designed and illustrated two books: Dilation Diary (2026) and Driftwind (2023).
Her practice is shaped by a persistent sense of alienation formed as a fourth-generation colonist without religion or inherited tradition, living in the throes of the Capitalocene. Drawing from conceptual design, Larson starts from the assumption that if our world is human-designed, and the human extent lies on the other side of our things, and our things are constantly escaping our contexts, then we are staring in morbid fascination at the alienness of our own bodies, living systems, objects, and cultures. From this position, she cultivates a practice attuned to feelings of eeriness, enchantment, and abjection that arise when agency or meaning is only partially recognized.
