Supermrin is a sculptor and installation artist who combines foraged trees with a grass-derived bioplastic of her own invention. Grounded in biophilosophy, decolonial theory, architecture, material science, and speculative fiction, her research-driven practice interrogates capitalist and colonial logics inscribed in the global lawn. This long-term body of work, FIELD, was profiled in Towards Another Architecture: New Visions for the 21st Century (Lund Humphries, 2024), a critical reappraisal of Le Corbusier’s legacy in the Global South amid climate crises.
Supermrin’s projects have been presented internationally at Art Commission Galleries, San Francisco; Untitled Art Fair (Special Projects), Miami; Studio 9D, New York; lower_cavity, Holyoke; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Cleveland; the Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati; the Italian Virtual Pavilion at the 17th Venice Architecture Biennale; Château de Vaudijon, Switzerland; and Tactile Bosch, Wales. Recent curated exhibitions include “Rodin Response: FIELD—Family Secrets” (Cincinnati Art Museum, curated by Dr. Peter Bell) and “Aliens: Colonial Narratives through Plant Migration and Bio-Art” (PS122 Gallery, New York, curated by Isabella Indolfi).
Her honors include grants from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, the Franklin Furnace Fund, the New York Foundation for the Arts, and the Ohio Arts Council. She is Area Head of Interdisciplinary Practice at the University of Cincinnati’s School of Art, an artist-in-residence at Silver Art Projects in the World Trade Center, and a research fellow at Genspace, Brooklyn.
