LAURIE KNOTT
Laurie Knott is an artist based in Glasgow, who studied at the Glasgow School of Art. His video and sculpture practices use pre-existing narratives and cliches as a foundation to investigate shared histories and contemporary cultures.
His videos use experimental techniques such as hand painted animation as well as a variety of digital editing methods as well as unique sound design, however, at times they borrow a cinematic or televisual style. This variety extends to the narratives in his videos using scripted and improvised methods, monologue, performance and even musical tropes.
Knott works with a close-knit group of fellow artists who are fundamental to the work.
