Through experimentation in the lab and studio, Harper Lethin seeks creative collaborations with microorganisms, transforming abjection into visceral re-embodiment: folding us, like gastrulation, into vessels for relation. They use the scale-transcending patterns of molecular biology, the cyborg potential of wearable sculpture, the accessibility of comic art, and the somatic, emergent processes of ceramics as methods of inquiry and communication. For Harper, the holobiont is both a metaphor for emotional experiences and, of course, our physiological reality that buds into emotion, fermentation, and biopolitical resistance.
