ARTIST STATEMENT

My artistic practice is grounded in scientific inquiry, with a special affinity for microbiology. I’m fascinated by the tools and techniques of the laboratory, the process of knowledge generation, and the historical trajectory of the scientific aesthetic. I contemplate these systems through mixed-media sculpture and installation that explore experimental materials like bioplastics and (non)living bacteria and fungi. I continually revisit and question the relationship between the knower and the known, calling attention to the bonds built through rigorous research. 

​

I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with several microbiologists on various projects, and I’m always impressed by their eagerness to chase a thread into the void—a sensation I’m deeply attuned to as an artist.

​

My ongoing research centers on how engaging with scientific visual language through a sculptural practice can offer new avenues for information delivery. I am keenly interested in the artwork as an epistemic object — one that holds knowledge rather than merely a direct illustration of it. Strategic abstraction, inherent in my artistic practice, can be used as a tool not to obscure but to enhance knowledge generation and provoke new forms of understanding.
