About

Laura Jean Healey is an award winning Artist and Filmmaker. Having received a First Class BA Honours from Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design, where she specialised in 16mm film and installation, Laura has continued to inform her artistic practice by working within the film industry as a camera technician, where she was mentored by the BSC Cinematographer Seamus McGarvey and works closely with both the Camera and VFX departments on high profile projects.

Inspired by her extensive experience and technical understanding, Laura uses digital film technologies to explore the nature of the cinematic experience. In particular, her work examines the role and objectification of the female form within the screen, the inherent paradoxical nature of cinema exhibition, and the desire it raises within the spellbound spectator.

Laura produced the very first underwater, slow motion, holographic film installation, The Siren, which was awarded the Passion for Freedom Gold Film Award, for ‘it’s artist value and powerful visual message embodying the freedom of women’. And recently, Laura collaborated with Sedition - a digital online gallery platform - to produce The (Un)Holy Trinity, a multichannel digital film installation that explores female mythical figures through a biblical lens to celebrate International Women’s Day 2020.
