Artist statement
Often working with large quantities of information or objects, Lynn Tomaszewski mixes media and converges the disciplines of art and science with the concept of nature. The quantities of information or objects are presented with minimal interventions to reveal the connections and patterns inherent in the collections.
Her most recent work uses genome sequence data as a structure for mixed-media installations and paintings. This work merges the minute and the grand scale of the information and makes it visible by precisly representing the rhythm of information (A,T,C,G) in imperfect handmade marks or found materials. The materials exist between the banal and the luminous, the content vacillates between profound and meaningless.
