Carol Lawrence interprets images in photographs, prints, and boxes. Her pieces invite the viewer to pause and appreciate more deeply the irreplaceable beauty of our world. She is interested in evoking ethereal mystery, the serene and solemn, the poetic and meditative. 

Subjects of particular interest include fog and low light, water patterns, and the intimate beauty of plant and flower details.

Currently, she is exploring photo-based monoprints of images transferred onto hand-printed and accented akua ink layers. One current series, Trees Without Leaves, explores the glorious structure of trees unadorned.  Other recent monoprint collections include Water and Ice and Tulips in Damask.

Recent book/box pairings include the concertina books, Tabby Ruins, Autumn at Owen, Agapanthus and a photo collection, Innisfree.

Her boxes derive from the traditional craft of hand bookbinding, breaking from the book form into containers for image portfolios and personal storytelling.
