Laura Goin - Embraced
LAURA GOIN
I grew up on a farm in Missouri. I swear I was born wearing cowboy boots. My favorite past time was to climb up to the hayloft in the barn and watch clouds go by. I spent
summer days roaming through pastures and the evenings lying in the grass gazing at the Milky Way. There was freedom as far as the eye could see.
My early experiments with photography were dismal failures. I rarely had a photo that was in focus and they were usually disappointing because they didn’t look like the masterpiece I had painted in my mind. But my failures led me to experiment more and more and more. Eventually those failures became strengths when I discovered intentional camera movement and multiple exposures. These tools led me down a different path that opened a new world of creating images that reflect my enduring love
of the countryside.
I continue to be a photography nomad in search of new horizons that remind me of home. When I’m not on the road I split my time between Thompsons Station TN,
Chicago IL, and Gold Canyon AZ. Laura had a solo show at the 2018 XX Encuentros Abiertos Festival De La Luz and has been featured in many group exhibitions.
