Guest Lecture: Lauren Jetty

Lauren Jetty is an artist, performer, musician and educator; often blurring the lines between these roles. Curiosity and conversation drive Lauren’s practice; she presents scenarios that bring the familiar into the realm of the magical. She specialises in the ‘other’ senses (taste, touch and smell), with a particular interest in the cross-modality of scent and sound. Each of the senses plays a role in the reception or perception of the others. The collaboration and contradiction of senses can be utilised to create playful and surprising physical sensory experiences. 

Lauren works between The Netherlands and Wales, where she has a studio at Elysium and is a member of iii (instrument inventors initiative). She teaches a course ‘practical perfumery for olfactory art’, and an introduction to the ‘primitive senses’ at KABK. She is also involved in the formation of a woodland, Joseph’s Wood, in South Wales.
