don't get taken for a ride
the queen,
who stares so stoic,
soft,
strong,
like jasmine blooms in spring.
cloying,
ploying.
alligator tears,
alligator tears,
don't
get
taken
for
a
ride.
Lauren Maryam Moradi is an interdisciplinary artist working in Los Angeles, CA. Using craft practices to alter and mend found objects, her work investigates concepts of domestic failure and bodily shortcomings through the destruction of functionality. Abject humor and the absurd are often woven into her work, inviting laughter while simultaneously serving as softly cutting reminders of visceral fragilities. Born in Orlando, FL, Moradi received her BFA from University of South Florida in 2012. A founding member of QUAID Gallery in Tampa, FL, she recently received her MFA from California State University Northridge in 2021.
