Laura Petrovich-Cheney - Cloudburst
Artist Hometown: Asbury Park
Medium: Salvaged Wood from Superstorm Sandy
Location in MD Anderson: Janet Knowles Breast Cancer Center, Hallway Corridor, Outside of Main Entrance to the Right
Artist Bio:
A true Jersey girl, Laura Petrovich-Cheney grew up in Haddonfield and currently lives in Asbury Park.
Her work – including this piece created from wooden remnants from Hurricane Sandy – focuses on repurposing salvaged wood into something meaningful and orderly.
Laura uses wooden debris as she finds it, the textures and faded colors suggesting another life. The history of the salvaged wood is told through its chipped layers of paint, nail holes and grain. Laura uses recurrent patterns to explore ideas that are rooted in the repetition of life – birth, growth, death and regeneration.
Laura received her MFA from Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia.
“My work mirrors the human experience, so full of transformation, second chances, reinvention, and resilience.”
