Laresa Kosloff’s artworks incorporate a range of approaches to making, including Super 8 film, choreographed video works, performance, drawing and hand drawn animation. Characterised by her exploration of the figure in relation to social values and aesthetic formalism, Kosloff’s interests extend to the significance of movement, gesture and abstraction, and the body’s relationship with systems aspiring to purity (including geometry, architecture and sport). Kosloff often uses humour and the absurd in her work, alternating these with a nuanced and sensitive eye. Her practice embraces various representational strategies, each one linked by an interest in the body and its agency within the everyday.
