The Machine Shop is proud to present Prayer Pieces & Toaster Ovens. Largely driven by the codependent tensions between strength and vulnerability, belonging and isolation, Laura BenAmots’s paintings, drawings and installation projects make it possible for her to approach the varied dimensions of human frailty.
Prayer Pieces & Toaster Ovens showcases work produced during Laura’s three-month Machine Shop Studio Residency. The works explore industry, oil, water, bones and “sacred objects”.

Inspired by a pilgrimage to Standing Rock last year, she continues to honor and discuss tensions between sustaining natural resources and industrial forces.
