Artist Notes

Melanie’s work focuses on a fascination with the scientific method and creating environments, where control and lack of control collide. Through the use of water infused paint and methods of pouring she creates frozen movement and moments via the evaporation process. The resulting paintings and installations are records of explorations of the intertwined  scientific and artistic systems.
