She is currently part of the faculty at the College of Fine Arts in the Ohio University. Larson identifies herself as a photographer, although her work includes film, video, digital media, and writing.

She deals with issues related to the medium of photography, domestic spaces and her relation to female bodies, the history of photography, among others.[1] A recurrent topic in Larson's work is the paranormal. In the video "Electric Girls and the Invisible World", she follows a group of five teenage girlfriends and their mysterious connection to the 19th century medium Eusapia Palladino, presenting reflections on female adolescence melancholy and longing.[2]Electric Girls was supported by a post-production residency for film at the the Wexner Center for the Arts.[3]
