Emily Lazerwitz (b. 1991, USA) studied at Slade School of art and Columbia University in New York. For Lazerwitz a myth is defined as a complex widely believed story that is inherently false yet explains phenomena that are inexplicable in nature. Her work tries to untangle this paradox by looking into structures that use a mythological system of logic to function. She takes complex qualitative and quantitative data from these systems and transforms it into simple infographic textile forms. She also explores the relationship between belief and truth.
