Einen Stift benutzt Lauren DiCioccio nur selten für ihre Arbeiten. Für ihre detaillierten Bilder und Skulpturen benötigt die Künstlerin ausschließlich Nadel und Faden. Sie hat zwar ihren Abschluss in Kunst und Kunstgeschichte an der Colgate University in Hamilton, New York gemacht, jedoch lernte sie die Stickerei bereits als kleines Kind bei ihrer Mutter:

My work investigates the physical/tangible beauty of commonplace mass-produced media-objects, most recently: the newspaper, magazines, office papers and writing pads, plastic bags, 35 mm slides. These media are becoming obsolete, replaced by the invisible efficiency of various technologies. In some cases, this transition is a good thing- faster transmission and distribution of information, streamlined systems, openness to user input, less waste. But a hole is left behind by the disappearance of these everyday objects. What will happen when we no longer touch information? When newsprint does not rub off onto our fingertips? When we no longer write longhand?

The tedious handiwork and obsessive care I employ to create my work aims to remind the viewer of these simple but intimate pieces of everyday life and to provoke a pang of nostalgia for the familiar physicality of these objects.
