Laurie Kain is a mixed media sculptor and painter working in the mountains of the Methow Valley in Washington State. Trained as a glassblower, she combines her intricate handmade vessels, reliquaries and hourglasses with urban and biological detritus, gears, clockworks, wax, dust and bones. Steampunk, airships, zoetropes,  Wunderkammers, Victorian-era scientific apparatus, cricket cages, antique flying machines, nautical apparatus, lenses, corsets, the absurd and the uncanny inspire her aesthetic, as she explores themes of technology, biochronology,  memory, absence and loss.
