Fungal Musings are a set of ceramic sculptures exploring the otherworldly character of the fungal world. The pieces explore the swampy yet fluid quality of life of fungi that connects to the elements and creates its own flow through the elements of water, soil,...

Inside Thoughts

Inside Thoughts is an active 3D-LED sculpture that provides a unique experience to visualize thoughts, feelings, sensations, and decision-making inside a transparent brain and down the spinal cord. We have used LEDs in resin and silicone to generate a representative...

Folded In Light

My artistic research is developed around the interaction of light and form on the plane using different biomaterials that inherently bring about geometric, abstract, and volumetric pieces. I am trained as a super-resolution microscopist and have derived my style,...

Paths Relit

Paths Relit I & II shows highlight a central scupture piece that reflects on the complex modes by which neurons in the brain connect with one another. A 3D-light sculpture depicts the pathways of 18 connecting neurons and animates several short and robust pathways...

Microscopic connections in Natural Light

Embryonic rat hippocampal structures were dissected and dissociated to individual neuronal cells which were then allowed to reconnect on a glass coverslip, proliferate, and reform a network of neurons again. These neurons were tracked over time to study their...

Live Decisions

Live Decision was in an impromptu screening of a live synaptic terminal in the muscles of Drosophila Neuromuscular Synapses expressing presynaptic syn-GCAMP6f. GCaMP is one of the most widely used calcium indicators in neuronal imaging and calcium cell biology. When...
