Algae Experiments

Experiments made from algae during this pandemic. I dye them with pigments extracted from algae and with cosmetic grade mica powder used to make shimmery eyeshadows. I cast these materials thick so they react to their environment. They are imbued with emotion. They cry and sweat and bleed when it rains. Algae provides over half of the air we breathe during a time when we are collectively thinking about how our relationships to breathing are not equal. These are materials tests for new works to come.
