Laurence Hegarty has lived in New York for more than 3 decades. Initially trained as an artist, Hegarty's interests have wandered over the years, leading him to pursue film studies and psychoanalysis as partners in the conversation that shapes his studio practice. Hegarty has trained as a psychoanalyst and he now maintains a private practice in New York City. Though studio art and psychoanalysis are not integrated in any way, the overlaps and collisions between them shape Hegarty's art making. Hegarty is also a writer and teacher. For more than a decade he has taught both BFA and MFA classes in studio art and cultural studies at Parsons The New School for Design.
