Artist statement
” Working at the intersection of art – science, I investigate relationships between human, microbial systems, and ecological environments. My artistic practice develops through long-term research into living materials, where biomatter becomes both medium and collaborator.
The projects often involve collaboration with scientists and other NGO and institutions, combining artistic methodologies with laboratory-based research and fieldwork. By engaging living systems as collaborators, my practice critically reflects on sustainability, public health, and the shifting relationship between human and non-human entities.
Through cultivating bacterial cellulose and other organic materials, I create works that are process-based and non-reproducible, existing as material records of transformation, which results mostly as an installation / object, and spatial intervention. These works operate simultaneously as aesthetic forms and as records of biological and material transformation.”
