Gracelee Lawrence

Sanford, NC, USA, 1989

Gracelee Lawrence (she/they) makes work that tests the interplay between the intersections of food, the body, and technology, occupying the transfigurative space between physical and digital realities. Manipulating her body by merging it with edible plants through 3D scanning and software manipulation, her sculptures investigate the gendered and fragmented nature of bodies while navigating the ecological and ethical complexities of bioplastics, particularly those derived from GMO corn. Growing up on a working tobacco farm in North Carolina her work naturally questions sustainability narratives, industrial agriculture, and the compartmentalization of digital and physical spaces, all while staying grounded in materiality.

Lawrence has attended more than 22 residencies worldwide and debuted her second solo show in New York at Postmasters in June 2022, earning a glowing review by Roberta Smith in The New York Times. She is the Head of Sculpture at the University at Albany, SUNY, with recent exhibitions at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Wasserman Projects, and CHART. Her large-scale outdoor sculptures have been installed at Wave Hill, Franconia Sculpture Park, and other venues. A member of the MATERIAL GIRLS collective, she is a recipient of the 2024 Dr. Nuala McGann Drescher Leave, a 2019 Jerome Fellowship, and a 2016–17 Luce Scholarship. Press highlights include The New York Times, The New Yorker, Hyperallergic, The Creative Independent, and MAAKE Magazine. Outside of her work, she is an enthusiastic dancer, lifelong horse person, and avid gardener.
