“
I believe that sound is an absolute material and lies at the core of what it means to be human.”
K.Anthony Lawler is an Academic, Sound-Tech-New Media Installation artist, and Graphic Illustrator working in New York and exploring the merger between art and science.
"My work is inspired by technology, sound and new areas of understanding. Areas such as: Cosmology, Neuroscience, Particle Physics, New Technologies and the Environment. I use my creative practice to explore the unnoticed, ignored or invisible aspects of life to explore the human condition."
Lawler received his MFA from Montclair University and now works as an Academic, Multi-media artist, and Graphic Illustrator in New York and abroad.
