Laurie Hassold

Laurie Hassold, a Kentucky-born artist now based in Southern California, creates intricate sculptures she describes as “future fossils.” Her work envisions speculative remnants of post-human evolution, merging fossilised forms with the discarded detritus of contemporary culture. Hassold’s creations reflect her fascination with nature’s awe-inspiring and often destructive forces—earthquakes, avalanches, and the passage of geologic time—interpreted through a lens of reverence and brutal beauty.

Her sculptures, which blend organic and synthetic elements, embody hybrid species that bridge the divide between life and death, humanity and nature. These works evoke dark fairy tales, exploring cycles of transformation and the interplay between mortality and evolution.

Hassold’s art has been showcased internationally, including at the Antwerp Zoo and the Laguna Art Museum. She teaches art in Southern California alongside her creative practice, sharing her vision of a world where discarded fragments gain new life and meaning. She lives with her husband, Jeff Gillette, and their two beloved felines.
