Laura Baring-Gould’s work originates from the belief that understandings of place, culture and collaborative potential satisfy deep and buoyant needs. Creating museum/gallery based installations, public artwork and small works of cast bronze, Baring-Gould’s projects employ elemental materials and archetypal forms in ways that catalyze memory and awareness.  Her epic sculptural and architectural works are often developed in a highly collaborative context within networks of public and private partnerships to revitalize collective potential and the transformation of place.

Baring-Gould’s work has been sponsored by the National Park Service, the Institute of Contemporary Art, the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park, Boston Sculptor’s Gallery and Scenic Hudson Inc.  She is the recipient of Fulbright, Mass. Cultural Council and Boston Athenaeum fellowships and has received numerous awards including Best of Boston 1995 and 2006 with recognition from the American Society of Architects and Americans for the Arts. Baring-Gould has taught for over ten years at the University level, and worked as an artist in residence at numerous colleges and universities, most recently at Silpakorn University in Bangkok. Baring-Gould has created permanent public art works for the City of Boston (the 12’ Dorchester Clapp Pear at Edward Everett Square), and is currently at work on a public art project for the City of Cambridge at Fresh Pond. Baring-Gould lives and keeps bees in Somerville, Massachusetts.
