Sasha Fishman https://sashafishman.com/, from New York City, has been artist in residence at ILY2 West. Her sculptures are themed on marine biology and sometimes involve pumps and water in the gallery. Strong vectors of her work are her own experimental materials made from the mud of hot springs, sea life, mycelium, and more.
Her show here, Shad Mode, is her readout of studying NW river life, including, salmon, sturgeon and lamprey eels.
"The show is a continuation of her interest in biomaterials, toxicology, and energy harvesting as points for critical analysis and mechanisms for sculpting. Driven by a fascination bordering on fixation with fish as both subject and object, Fishman’s practice prods the relationship between fish, their ecosystem, and their caretakers, asking the question: How do humans direct the evolution of a species, and how does a species exist beyond itself?
