Kat AustenHow to touch a dragonfly, 2023-4Wall-mounted Relief Sculptures Comprising: Aluminium, LEDs, Electronics, Laser-Cut Hanji, 3D Printed PLA, Video and Sound
"When I was a child, there were dragonflies everywhere." This recollection opens How to Touch a Dragonfly, an immersive installation that unfolds at the intersection of memory, ecological change, and technological vision. The installation brings together traditional Korean craft, cutting-edge media, and deep ecological research to create a sensorial environment where visitors are invited to experience the world through the perspective of a dragonfly—an ancient, migratory insect now profoundly impacted by anthropogenic transformation.
At the core of the installations is the concept of a low-resolution screen composed of individual hexagonal “pixels” that echo the lenticular structure of the dragonfly’s eye, playing a narrative video and soundscape exploring landscapes changing due to human actions. These pixels are created by video-mapped LEDs shining through folded Hanji—handmade Korean paper crafted for the piece by artisans at the Jeonju Millennium Hanji Museum. The result is a visual system that resists high-definition spectacle, favouring embodied intimacy and fractured vision. Visitors step into a world that translates motion, colour and vibration as dragonflies might experience it.
Juxtaposing Cheongsan Island, a farming area designated a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Site, with urban spaces in Republic of Korea, the work explores the relationships between land use, climate change and insect migration. It draws on interviews with elders from Cheongsan Island and field recordings of dragonfly habitats, weaving together past and future, memory and data, emotion and environmental change.20 x wall mounted sculptures: 15 x 20 x 10cm

Sofia Crespotemporally uncaptured, 2023-2024Neural networks, cyanotype prints, digital video'Temporally Uncaptured' is a series of works that delve into a speculative realm at the advent of the camera, where the sequential capture of images brought to life the stills painstakingly illustrated from observations. The work focuses on the often imperceptible temporal transitions in the life cycles of organisms, including but not limited to, the microscopic.
A system of neural networks was used to generate images that capture the diversity of the organisms' shapes, not through direct observation, but through the distillation of historical archives of their early depictions. The resulting videos consist of frames, which were hand printed by the artist using the cyanotype technique and later digitised.
Furthermore, this series of works was inspired by Anna Atkins and her book 'Photographs of British Algae’, from 1843. The importance of Atkins work, whilst obvious now, was at the time a very difficult endeavour wherein the pivotal work of female scientists was ignored, misattributed, or otherwise downplayed. -

Ana Maria CaballeroMilk, 2023Book 1/1
Ana María Caballero’s Book Sculptures question how society values poetry and propose the book as a sculptural object.
Milk, the third volume from this eight-part series, exists as a single edition and contains one eponymous poem printed 197 times in its pages. When taken as integers, the digits in 197 add up eventually to 8, a number that represents abundance.
As with the other tomes in Caballero’s Book Sculptures, Milk has a unique ISBN and the anatomy and structure of a traditional book.
Caballero is deeply interested in exploring new ways to transact poetry. When objects are transacted, they are exchanged, shared, given, received. Value is assigned.
Sometimes verse is considered to be immaterial, but nothing is more material than the artworks, verses, memories that enter our minds as we wait in line, sit in traffic, boil eggs. Nothing is more material than what makes us tick.
Caballero’s Book Sculptures celebrate the materiality of poetry and the renewed cultural agency afforded to verse via blockchain provenance.
The collector of the physical 1/1 book also receives a 1/1 video work of a single page of the book endlessly turning while Caballero reads the poem, accentuating the artist’s expansion of the ways poetry can be experienced, exhibited and transacted in the digital age.
Milk is the recipient of a 2024 Christopher F. Kelly Academy of American Poets Prize and was also published by the Academy of American Poets Magazine, one of the most prestigious literary publications of our time. It forms part of Caballero’s prize-winning book MAMMAL.16 x 24 x 2.5 cm
