Laurie Frick draws from neuroscience to construct intricately hand-built works and installations to explore the nature of pattern and the mind. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Frick lives in Austin, Texas and part-time in New York City. She completed an MFA from the New York Studio School in 2007. Formerly an executive in high-technology, she also holds an MBA from the University of Southern California. Using her background in engineering and high-technology she explores science, compulsive organization and the current culture of continual partial attention. The body of work for her upcoming show at ECAA are experiments in brain rhythm using time studies of daily activity logs and sleep charts.
