Hello!
My name is Grace Laubacher (she/her) and I'm a scenic designer based Brooklyn, NY.
I was originally trained in the humanities, and have a degree in film & cultural studies; my work stems from an interest in space an essential corollary to the human journey – a dynamic party to our emotional lives, histories, fantasies, and corporeal realities. To me, the relationship between humans and their environments is an endlessly fascinating and perplexing one, difficult to define in any universal sense, because it changes shape and meaning in every context – but for this very reason, it is an exciting storytelling medium, one that can trace and participate in a narrative journey.
