Sara Parent Ramos will create a site specific installation in our gallery that investigates the microbiome, the wonderful and terrifyingly elusive world thriving inside and outside us. Our gut flora and fauna outnumber us, predate us, and can have a large impact on our functioning. Over the past decade, new research has emerged shedding light on the influence of bacteria on our health, mood, behavior and feelings.
Parent Ramos has been the recipient of a State University of New York Thayer Fellowship and a Fulbright Scholarship to Italy and has completed residencies at the Cite International des Arts in Paris and Joshua Tree National Park. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Art at Montgomery College in Maryland.
Each sculpture grouping in the exhibition is $350. Please contact Curator Jennifer Zwilling at jzwilling@theclaystudio.org if you are interested.
