Appropriating scientific imaging technologies, her installations, photographs, and videos address how interpretation fluctuates between fact and speculation. Working across disciplines to develop “third culture” collaborations, she has programmed art, science and technology curricula, symposia and fellowships at several research institutions, including the University of Michigan, where she was the first non-scientist appointed to their Life Sciences Institute.
