The Art Beyond Reason
Scientific conventions are founded on the belief that we must systematically eliminate emotional involvement in order to uncover truths about the natural world. Adrien’s work seeks to reframe the scientific lens through sculpture to make information accessible as a sensory, physical, and emotive experience.
