Sasha
Fishman is a sculptor and researcher based in LA and Baltimore.
She is
particularly interested in marine biomaterials, toxicology, and genetic
engineering as points for critical analysis + mechanisms for sculpting. Her
practice spans caring for deep sea eels and algae to formulating sculptable
materials from found biomass.
Sasha has presented her work, and run workshops at Genspace, UCLA, UDenver, CSULB, and Caltech where she has been a research fellow. Recent projects include a community cicada shell collection and bioplastic extraction workshop in Baltimore, and developing marine based bioplastics as alternatives for resin. Sasha is currently working at the Baltimore Jewelry Center for a self directed residency and is an artistic research assistant at SUPERCOLLIDER in LA.
