Lauren Marlowe's work consists of lens work, including photographic manipulations, charcoal drawing, and music. Her work often explores the mental state and memory using ethereal imagery is concerned with the supernaturality of the psyche and the mental state. She uses these mediums to try and create a sense of foreboding and darkness in the art, while also trying to create an insight into the mind.

Marlowe presents these themes by depicting scenes from nature, especially forests, then creates paranormal-like images from photographs to portray the complexity of the mind.

Her previous work featured bright coloured watercolour or ink splatters which confused whether the subject of the scene was peaceful, chaotic, or nightmarish. Her current work has a similar sense of confusion and disorientation, instead using photographically manipulated images to portray this.

The source of the nature in Marlowe’s work is mostly forests and the Irish countryside. She makes work about her own mental health experiences with depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Mental health is something the artist is very passionate about, and her work intends to show her own experiences with mental illness, which acts as a form of therapy for Marlowe, with the intent to normalise a conversation on mental health and assist in de-stigmatising it.

Lauren Marlowe’s work is dark and distressing while also having a feeling of curiosity. The work provides a strange insight into the supernatural and the mental state of a human.
