Laurel McCallum (b.1999, Scotland) is an interdisciplinary textile artist based in the UK. Combining relatable subject matter with bold colours, soft textures, and intimate framing, McCallum aims to celebrate the subtle sweetness of everyday existence. Drawing from mundane moments and ordinary objects creates a feeling somewhere between comfort and unfamiliarity.
Each piece is made by blending terry cloth with oil paint and chalk. This process fosters a labour of love, creating a texture that further feeds into the work’s themes.
