Sasha Fishman is a sculptor and researcher based in New York. Her work explores marine biomaterials, toxicology and energy harvesting as points for critical analysis and mechanisms for sculpting. Fishman holds an MFA from Columbia University, where she collaborated with labs on salmon, fountains, and carbon capture materials. Fishman’s practice, based in sculpture, photo, and video explores intersections of material histories, scientific inquiry, and fringe beliefs. Through developing bio-based materials, tracing histories of plastics, and caring for deep sea eels, her practice of sculpting generates a rheology, the study of the flow of matter, which emerges through her engagement with scientists, environmental conservation industries, water systems, and formulating living, ephemeral, and synthetic materials.
