"I’m a Creative Cosmonaut and award winning Filmmaker born in London. I studied Fine Art at the University of Reading and Central Saint Martins. I paint with light and sculpt with time to create journeys, to make the viewers see things they wouldn’t believe.

I have produced a body of work showing my commitment to experimenting critically with film. This has been a constant practice of translating written conceptual ideas into ambitious films which have been displayed in Art Galleries and feature in Films Festivals around the world most recently Displayed in New York. It all stems from a strong interest and understanding of Painting which transferred effortlessly into the cinematographic image. I try to bring an emotional story and capture that emotion into one still painted image."

Bankside Hotel x Contemporary Collective are thrilled to welcome mixed media sculptor Lauren Goldie to the Makers’ Studio as their next Artist in Residence. In the studio from 2nd - 29th August, Lauren will explore Astronomy as a main theme and inspiration for a series of artwork examining the fragilities of our planet, hypothetical narratives from outer space and the imagined landscapes that could become home.

Operating with an open-door policy to encourage visitors to engage directly with the art, Lauren will divide the studio space into a traditional gallery and workspace. Within the gallery section of the studio, there will be an interactive sculpture requiring audience participation to provoke collaboration and conversation. Additional works within the space will include a series of sculptural and 2-dimensional work inspired by tracking spatial objects. Throughout the residency, Lauren plans to work towards expanding this collection throughout the entirety of the gallery space.
