We can all see the same bits and pieces of imagery but create entirely different stories depending on our experiences in life. I have always been fascinated by this aspect of the medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I find sound to be extremely visual and as a result, my work is heavily influenced by what I happen to be listening to at that moment in time. It\u2019s important that I not think too heavily about creating a specific scene, there is a meditative quality that comes from seeing the connections that are made subconsciously during this process. I tend to focus on connecting lines between different elements and bringing the piece together through color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My mind is constantly in overdrive, overthinking and questioning the daily nuances of life. Collage provides an outlet where I am able to create something from the chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a freelance designer and mixed media artist currently living in Brooklyn, New York. I enjoy developing concepts that create harmony within different mediums including illustration, collage, audio, and video. I am fueled by learning and exploring as often as possible. This includes experimenting with new programs, learning how to play piano, and figuring out how to build a computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ARTIST CONTACT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"click to email (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"mailto:lheidotten@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\">click to email<\/a>]<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seriesofactions.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"www.seriesofactions.com (opens in a new tab)\">www.seriesofactions.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IMAGES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"981\" src=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/laura-heidotten-centered.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7810\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/laura-heidotten-centered.jpg 700w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/laura-heidotten-centered-214x300.jpg 214w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/laura-heidotten-centered-210x294.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption><em>Centered<\/em><br>20&#8243;x15&#8243;;
