Artist, jeweler, metalsmith, and art conservator [Lauren Eckert](https://lauren-eckert.com/?ref=killscreen.com) shows us what it means to look at craftsmanship through a contemporary lens. Drawing from inspiration from the objects in video games, religious iconography, and classic science fiction VFX, Lauren’s work gives metals and jewelry a life on screen—and similarly, digital objects a physical life. Whether through wearable pieces or digital triptychs, Lauren’s projects make a space where past and future, alchemy and technology, collide.

We had a great conversation with Lauren back in 2021 and have featured more of her work [here](https://killscreen.com/lauren-eckert/?ref=killscreen.com).
