Cat Town: Energy, Matter, and the Art of Becoming

What happens when a material scientist, trained in chemistry and nanotechnology, turns her attention to painting, sound, and philosophical inquiry? You get Cat Town: Energy, Matter, and the Art of Becoming, a new solo exhibition by Lyne Ismail, where energy, matter, and abstraction come together in unexpected ways. Lyne joins us to talk about her journey from the lab to the studio, and what visitors can expect from this immersive, thought-provoking show.
