My intention, as an overall conceptual starting point, is inspired by an ongoing series of drawings I call “impossible set designs.” These drawings use scale, forced perspective, paradox, and weights and balances to create optical illusions that destabilize the spectator’s gaze. They are intended...

This image represents a blend of food and the often unseen scientific processes that go into food production. The semi-translucent photos depict laboratory materials that are commonly used in my research, including bacteria cultures growing on agar plates and micropipettes. They are overlaid over...

My practiced-based research in print media and animation focuses on navigating the uncertainties within female autonomy, family genetics, and dialogues with the self in relation to advancing reproductive technologies. With the developments of in vitro fertilization, embryo selection, and genetic...

This image captures both the grandeur of mountain landscapes and their sensitivity to climatic warming. Most of the world’s population derives cultural, spiritual, and/or recreational significance from glaciated mountains. Furthermore, glaciers provide more than a sixth of the world’s population...

You can almost feel the chilling Arctic air and brisk winds cut through your warmest parka. I counted my blessings when I was able to head into a warm home and enjoy...

Here, we have experimentally measured the wavefunction of a single buried arsenic atom peeking through a silicon surface. Its complex form perfectly captures one of the most fundamental properties of quantum mechanics: the location of an electron is based on probability and is never fixed. While...

“Re-Packing my Library” depicts the collection process that goes into writing a dissertation. It shows a collection of books, papers, pamphlets, programs, and notes amassed over three years of research packed (once again) hastily into my father’s old bag the night before yet another departure....

Silicon nanoparticles can be used in lithium-ion batteries, LEDs, and medical imaging. When these materials are smaller than 5 nm, they glow red under UV light. The color the particles emit can be changed by changing their size or what is on their surface. I am working to understand how the...

These snowshoes were made by my Dad and Grandpa Fern. First steps: build a snowshoe form, steam lengths of straight pliable wood, bend it over the form to shape the shoes, rivet ends together, remove shoes from the form and allow to dry. Second steps: cut moose rawhide strips, once frame has...
