Laura Fayer paintings draw on various structures and systems to produce a loose geometry with organic rhythms. She relies mainly on her hand-crafted tools such as stencils and over-sized rubber stamps to construct her multi-layered paintings. As part of her process, she studies the natural and built environment; among her many references are architecture, aerial views of the landscape, language and musical structure. She also draws upon her memories of childhood years in Japan: her work reflects the wabi-sabi aesthetic--a Japanese concept of beauty that includes simplicity, unpretentiousness and imperfection.
