Description
Laurie Bolger stages her collection across the backdrop of the urban world – the gym, cafés, diners, pubs. This world is filled with movement and vivid imagery… There’s commentary on our times, the tragi-comic business of love, and everyday scenes of entrapment and limitation. Her work rails against sexism and body shame, and is dedicated to generations of women. – Khadija Rouf, The Friday Poem
