Laura Mappin is an independent artist and entrepreneur working to demystify bodily elements and aspects of human sexuality. Laura specializes in crocheted body parts, erotica and unconventional doilies. Her work confronts social conventions with the purpose of developing dialogues surrounding that which might otherwise be considered unacceptable or impolite conversation.
