This artists work is really relevant to my current project, she explored the line between science art using a lot of different mediums.
She has worked in sculpture, textile, microbial, photography and more mediums. As I have a keen interest in Fungi, she has a keen interested in micro-organisms. Particularly those that thrive and on the delicate ecosystems of the skin and body. She has nurtured this fascination for over ten years now. A strong portfolio of artwork exploring this theme. I think a huge driving force for her work is scientific curiosity, she is fascinated by what we know and what we aren’t yet privy to. Her work expands and evolves in keeping with the advancements in science, she is constantly updating herself about what is new in the field and what this could mean to her, her work, and the future. I really like the physical links in her work to humanity, as this is something I’m currently exploring and trying to find the balance of imposing presence and subtle nuances. I think the way she presents this non verbally is really fantastic, and her involvement of the public like in her 2017 work MOMENTUM 9 is really amazing and innovative, to invite the public in whilst using their presence to complete the work from the outside, the person inside the work making up the mushroom stem is just really visually and conceptually interesting especially paired with her interest in the link between humanity and micro-organisms. I also adore her textile work, I think it’s very delicate and elegant, a hard aesthetic to capture when dealing with microbial subject matter. She visually represented the macrocosms she is obsessed with, in such a fragile way as to compare it to the fragility of the human ecosystem. Ph. balances, infections, even conditions can alter so much about the delicate balance we have and completely transform our outer landscape.
