About the artist
Life,
form,
memory.
Kate Samardzic is an Australian artist and biologist based in New York.
Her background in biology, including a PhD in cell biology, informs her exploration of living matter, form, memory and the spaces beneath the visible surface.
Her work explores the forms and textures of living matter, translating microscopic structures and organic processes into sculptural surfaces, relief and large-scale wall works.
She is interested in the tension between what is visible and what lies beneath it — between the cellular and the monumental, the organic and the mineral, the familiar and the unknown.
The body is not only physical; it carries history. Our cells hold traces of what came before us, while our bodies accumulate the experiences of a life. Memory, inheritance, adaptation and change leave their marks, sometimes in ways we cannot see.
Through layered textures, metallic surfaces and abstract biological forms, she creates works that invite associations with the body, landscape, fossils, artifacts and other traces of life without belonging entirely to any one of them.
PhD · Cell Biology
Cells become architecture. Tissue becomes terrain. The body becomes form.
