Laura Grimm

sculpture - sculpture - nature - textile

Laura Grimm (she/her) is a Rotterdam based sculptor. The forms of her sculptures are deliberately mysterious but the materials remain traceable and direct. Raw materials and processing methods of objects in our daily lives are often invisible. Due to her background in textiles, where basic fibers were key, Grimm has a strong connection with these types of invisible processes. That is why she makes her sculptures from raw materials such as wool directly from sheep in Rotterdam. She attends the shearing after which she washes the wool in her studio, cards it and colors it with dye baths of flowers and plants. These hand-prepared materials are full of energy, love and attention, all of which end up in her sculptures.

Laura Grimm lives and works in Rotterdam. Alongside three other artists she set up her own studio in Hillegersberg and now uses the large former garage of this building as her work space.
