I am very pleased to share that this August I have been offered a studio residency at The Sarabande Foundation! 
Established by the late designer, Lee Alexander McQueen,  the estate supports creative practitioners through a series of programmes. I am very excited to start my journey at Sarabande soon! 

The University of Cambridge has made material a donation to the first exhibition of The Museum of Plant Art (October 2023). This plant-based film with nanocrystals gets cooler when the light hits its surface because of its crystals, which also give the material an iridescent look. This effect naturally happens in flowers and plants too, which have very complex systems to heat up and cool down so they can provide pollinators with the perfect ambient temperature. Pollinators can distinguish temperature variations of 0.25 degrees Celsius.   

We, humans, have only learnt to produce cellulose with this coating as recently as May 2023. I am incredibly thankful to Professor Silvia Vignolini and Dr Qingchen Shen from the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry of the University of Cambridge for their support. 

This June I presented The Pigment Change at CaixaForum Barcelona as part of the Visiones Expandidas exhibition, and Michel Poivert discussed The Museum of Plant Art at Palais de Tokyo, during the 4th Parlament de la Photographie in June 2023.  Below are the videos of both presentations:  

After the success in 2021 and 2022, Fisheye Gallery will be taking my work to Photo London for a third consecutive year as well as to Shanghai Photo Fairs. 

This month I had the pleasure to be on residency at the  Laboratory of Plants Microbes and Environment Interactions (LIPME), where I have been developing my new project The Museum of Plant Art in the context of the 1+2 Residency. 
The Museum of Plant Art will have its first exhibition and publication launch this October 2023, at the Chapelle des Cordeliers with Filigranes Editions. 

 This month too, The Pigment Change was featured in Maze Row!

Guerlain commissioned eleven international women photographers a series of works of art to display at La Maison Guerlain in Paris, France, from 9 March to 4 September 2023. The artists were: Jane Evelyn Atwood​, Valérie Belin​, Delfina Carmona​, Delphine Diallo​, Su Kui​, ORLAN​, Charlotte Rampling​, Myriam Roehri​, Almudena Romero​, Christine Spengler​ et Audrey Tautou.​​

My work has been selected for the Art Paris Art Fair, where I exhibited these new sculptures, as part of the series Studies on my Grandmas’ Garden, The Act of Producing, The Pigment Change.
