Michaela Lawtoo
 
Inspired by the interplay between visual forms and bodily forces, Michaela Lawtoo´s art finds artistic expression in different media and practices that are as visual as they are embodied, as spiritual as they are immanent and material. From painting to yoga, design to video, she draw´s inspiration from aesthetic, bodily and material forces that feed the movement of her work from the inside-out.
Her work focuses on the in-between status of processes that escape visual perception but can be felt, touched and experienced. Thus, if yoga allows to get in touch with bodily forces from the outside-in, in her paintings she expresses these invisible forces from the inside-out. She often draws them blindfolded in order to express a force in movement, rather than a static form. Similarly, but via a different medium, her videos represent the interplay of an (in)visible body in movement in a wider natural context that roots the self back in the materiality of nature.
