"Langsdon, a native Memphian, is a multidisciplinary artist, working in metal and wood in addition to painting. Her work depicts constructs that exist autonomously or within defined environments, where organic forms emerge to inhabit illusory structures or spaces. Ancient history and art forms, metaphysical inquiry, the natural environment, and her southern and Lebanese roots inform her artistic practice."
