Using interior spaces as a starting point towards abstraction, Lawless creates works on paper that convey the tenor of expanses and interstices she observes.
Even in the internal space of the studio, I believe that everything you work with is related to the room in which you are. It is exactly this belief that I bring to my work.

"My practice began with wanting represent buildings and the space they inhabit. I am particularly interested in Architecture and space, Space not as container but as the contained - the solid volume of the air defined by objects: Interior space open space or a very specific space such as a corner of a room, a window blind, the gaps between one room and another the way that walls meet at the top and sides, doorways, and corridors. I continue to explore these ideas of internal and external space as a way of comprehending notions of space and documenting the imagined and observed."
