Artist Bio

Supermrin makes sculptures and installations using foraged trees and a unique bioplastic synthesized from grasses. Her practice draws from fields including biophilosophy, architecture, decolonial theory, material science, and speculative fiction. Her project “FIELD” considers the widespread use of engineered lawn grasses as an operative metaphor for a capitalist, colonial mindset and the ecological damage it precipitates. Her work has been exhibited in the United States, Europe, and Asia at venues including the Art Commission Galleries, San Francisco, the Italian Virtual Pavilion at the Venice Biennale for Architecture 2021; Untitled Art Fair, Miami; Chateau de Vaudijon, Colombier, Switzerland; Tactile Bosch, Wales, and others. Recent exhibitions include “Rodin Response: FIELD family secrets”, curated by Dr. Peter Bell at the Cincinnati Art Museum; and “Aliens: Colonial Narratives through Plant Migration and Bioart” curated by Isabella Indolfi at PS122 Gallery, NYC. Supermrin’s work was recently featured in Lund Humphries 2024 publication, “Towards Another Architecture: New Visions for the 21st Century”, edited by Owen Hopkins, a critical rethinking of Le Corbusier’s legacy in the global south in the face of climate change. She is a recipient of the Individual Artist Excellence Grant from the Ohio Arts Council, Franklin Furnace Grant for Performance Art, and an artist grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts.
