Transient Structures

A solo exhibition at Kingston Arts Centre in 2018. The work extends from an artist residency at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI) in Clayton Victoria. In consultation with mentor scientist Danni Ratnayake (ARMI), research into the muscle regeneration of zebrafish informed the artworks. Along with more descriptive pieces, other artworks were a translation of movement, interactions and pathways.
