Item Description
Title: Agar Remix Meaures: 24"' x 18H"
Unframed. Signed by artist on the back
As an artist dabbling in biology, one of the first things Tarah Rhoda understood was that Agar is the canvas of the laboratory. This simple substrate hosts our efforts to collage life by mixing, matching and propagating the characteristics of different organisms. While miniature worlds of wonder can be whipped up in a petri dish, Rhoda wanted to play on a larger scale and expand on the creative potential of agar as a sculptural medium. Using both ready made and custom silicone molds Rhodacasted the charcoal agar media and painted it with E. coli (K12) expressiong fluorescent proteins naturally found in a jelly fish. After incubation, Rhoda manipulated the bacterial growth with utensils to create finer details and shadows.
