Unfamiliar Landscape | Lorraine Parker at the Lavit Gallery

Event Details

Exhibition runs 27/08/26-19/09/26.

The work for this exhibition looks at the female body as it collides with institutional policies and procedures. The sculptures reflect the traumatised birth with its intrusive procedures resulting in the loss of bodily autonomy. 

Women’s bodies are a landscape, a site of contention and control. It is within maternity institutions where interventions, policy, procedure and tolerances dominate and leave women outside of decisions made about their bodies. 

Lorraine Parker is an emerging visual artist based in Cork. In 2021 she graduated from MTU Crawford College of Art and Design (CCAD) with a BA First Class Hons in Contemporary Applied Art
