Mosaicism Exhibition, 2025

IM Weiss Gallery, Detroit MI
Sept 13 - Oct 18, 2025

Mosaicism reimagines ancient Roman mosaic bowls through a contemporary lens of biology, gender, and material history. Using the traditional glass technique of murrine, which was used by ancient Romans to create low bowls and platters, the vessels that resemble cellular structures observed under a microscope. Red-toned forms echo the layered patterning of onion-skin mitosis, while other works introduce chimeric compositions featuring XX and XY chromosomal motifs in pink and blue, nodding to genetic variation and hybridity. The work invites viewers to consider the body as a site of aesthetic, biological, and cultural complexity.
