Lauren Fensterstock works in large-scale installation using myriad materials and techniques such as paper quilling and mosaic. She is one of four artists in Forces of Nature: The Renwick Invitational 2020. Her colossal, site-specific piece, the totality of time lusters the dusk, was partially inspired by richly illustrated 16th c. manuscripts such a as The Book of Miracles. As such in our conversation we refer to her work simply as the comet. The following is an excerpt from our recent conversation about Fensterstock’s work.
