Laura Jagger

Laura Jagger (b.1998) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Oxford. She received her BA in Fine Art from York St John University (2021), and MFA from Oxford Brookes University (2023) and is currently pursuing a PhD in Fine Art at Oxford Brookes University. Her work has been featured in Aesthetica Online and has been exhibited internationally as a prize winner for the Eleanor Worthington Prize in Urbino, Italy (2020).

Jagger’s practice-led research is concerned with materiality which embodies and articulates her exchange with the world modified by chronic illness and disability. She explores the sculptural nature of images, dissecting her encounters of pain and care, responding with materiality embodying her encounters. Jagger’s research challenges ableist and patriarchal political ideology whilst navigating her artistic practice through phenomenological inquiry.
