Laurie Papa Minnick is an American artist currently residing in rural Pennsylvania with her husband and two sons. Originally from Long Island, she headed west to study at Arizona State University, where she earned a bachelor's and a master's degree in fine arts, specializing in wood sculpture. With a diverse professional background covering gallery management, teaching, home renovation, and furniture design, Laurie boasts a broad portfolio of artworks, showcasing installation and object making across different media. Minnick considers art to be a space where the interaction between control and chaos reflects the human condition, where the act of making becomes a dialogue between the tangible and the conceptual, between societal structures and personal reflection. In her current work, she reconstructs fabric and other daily waste to create abstract compositions, using the sewn patterns as molds to cast cement pieces. The resulting artworks serve as physical impressions of these remnants, inviting a curiosity akin to observing a fossil.
