Lauren Goldenberg
Petting Zoo
Lauren Goldenberg makes paintings and objects in their hometown of Rancho Santa Margarita, CA in a corner of their parent’s garage that isn’t already taken up by fishing poles or cat litter boxes. As they sift through the scattered, once discarded, materials that decorate the studio floor, Frankenstein-esque figures and creatures begin to inhabit their work. Their process requires multiple works to be made at a time, eliminating the concern for “preciousness”- Pretty much any excuse they can get to make an absolute mess.
