About Laurel Young,
Working from photographs and using friends and family as models, I play on the ideas and attitudes that keep recurring throughout my life. The excitement of an uncertain future. Moments passing with steady continuity or in stillness. I always remain attentive for those sobering instances of beauty that come about from the play of light, shadow and color.
