Susan Muñoz, Beneath the Surface #3. Courtesy of the Artist.My work explores the repetition of shapes across scale through experimentation with materials. By using the physical and chemical properties of the materials I work with to mimic the aesthetic and symbolic qualities of the subject matter, I try to create a deeper understanding of the essential nature shared by all things. By placing familiar images or objects in new contexts, I question the boundaries between science and art.
My recent work has examined the elegant patterns of the melting of polar ice, galaxy formation, subatomic particle paths, breast cancer tumors, the transmission of the AIDS virus, and the Yellow Fever virus. I am currently pursuing a body of work exploring geological formations and volcanic activity.
