Viral Theories.
My interest in nature, landscape, migration, and science can also be seen in my past installations, Viral Theories, themes which I worked on for 10 years before the COVID-19 pandemic occurred. The work consisted of sculptural, parasitic paintings that envelop architecture and challenge traditional notions of borders, protections, and artistic notions of the sublime by contrasting its awe-inspiring majesty with latent threats—viruses, swarms, and other unseen forces. When the pandemic hit the world, the work felt strangely prescient. After a large solo show of this work, I entered into a new research phase that is expressed in my current textiles and painting work.
