[3] With over 100 exhibitions, Laing was widely known for her leading role in the conceptual photography field, with most of her works being a part of a series in order to convey her concepts.
The series that arose from this exploration was titled one dozen unnatural disasters in the Australian landscape.
[11] A vast majority of Laing's artworks related strongly to cultural and historical places throughout Australia.
With staged sceneries, Laing involved the politics of particular locations as well as elements of current and modern culture.
Her growing annoyance with the sounds from planes passing overhead fueled her interest in the ideas of air travel, which in turn was the inspiration for her Flight Research series.
[12] Over the span of her career, Laing accomplished many things and has won multiple awards as well as research grants.
Laing had her works exhibited internationally, including in Germany, Australia, the United States, Spain, Japan, Switzerland, New Zealand and Finland.
