Laurence Morassut (b. 1995) is an Australian Photographic and Mixed Media Artist, currently working on the Central Coast, Australia. His work focuses on a variety of different subject matters resulting from various cultural and personal influences. His biggest 'drawback' that inadvertently influenced his work is the inability to correctly identify colours. This has lead to a focus on the nocturnal world and found imagery where the importance of colour can be interpreted and forgotten in search of something else.
His current practice focuses on found imagery in the form of reclaimed magazines. These serve as time capsules to a forgotten world of imagery, hidden, beneath the covers.
