It takes of lot of work and timing to make a big installation of Petri dishes. The day after that, they are their brightest. The next day, I use a paint brush, Q-tip or loop to draw on the Petri dish. “ I grow a liquid culture of the bacteria overnight which acts as my paint. ” How do you create the bioluminescent effects for your living art pieces? There is feeling of happiness I get while creating art.
They looked like living cells and organisms. “In the middle of graduate school, the paintings I created were biomorphic. When you first intertwined science with art, how did you feel? What was that experience of creating something so unique like? In the middle of graduate school on a trip to Paris with my Dad when I saw paintings at the Musee d’Orsay, I had an epiphany that I wanted to turn my drawings into paintings.” I enjoyed making art, but did not take it seriously at that time. Berkeley, to my great surprise I had one of my drawings published on the cover of a literary journal and one of my photographs published on the inside. In my early career I more seriously studied science.Īt the same time in undergrad at U.C. I remember many weekends in Golden Gate Park where my Dad would take me both to the Academy of Sciences Museum and the de Young Museum right across from each other. “ I was exposed to art and science very young. When did you become your career as both a scientist and as an artist? How did you manage to combine the two? Now I am in New Orleans for family, great culture and weather.”
Then I taught at Loyola University Chicago for 14 years. I taught in the Milwaukee area for a couple of years. I came to Madison, WI for graduate school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am an artist and a scientist in the Biology Department at Loyola University New Orleans. River Beats New Orleans: Hi Hunter! Thanks for chatting with us here at River Beats New Orleans today.
