Ida Lawrence

Painting, writing and storytelling converge in Ida Lawrence’s practice, reflecting on memory, kinship and cultural inheritance. Large painted surfaces are traversed by textual fragments, where figurative images and sentences coexist without hierarchy, producing layered compositions in which personal narratives and collective histories shift and overlap. Her texts, often marked by subtle humour and keen observation, introduce displacements that complicate these narratives. Her work engages with the circulation of stories across generations and languages, exploring how transmission, translation, and rewriting shape forms of belonging.
