Lauren Warrington, Her Biomorphic Bacterial Babies


In 2021, in Saskatoon, I participated in an artist residency at Bridges Art Movement, a DIY space supporting artists by offering a project and exhiition space for month-long periods. During the residency, I considered questions surrounding motherhood/fertility and materiality. I created Her Biomorphic Bacterial Babies, an installation featuring animated generative cellular forms projected throughout the space. Alongside the digital work, I cultivated large sheets of SCOBY and dehydrated them into bacterial leather, which I used to encase resin forms referencing the animation; such forms were illuminated and installed throughout the gallery for public visitation.

Lauren Warrington is an artist and researcher living between Saskatoon and Toronto, who works with digital and physical space. Her practice is grounded in her experiences as a “mixed-race” Chinese Canadian on the prairies and engages the complexities of how cultural memory is created and the possibilities of its recontextualization through digital space and physical forms. She is interested in how technological and material systems can articulate diasporic subjectivities, functioning as repositories and mediums through which identity is negotiated and expressed. 

Lauren is also a founding member of Biofeedback Collective, a three member artist collective focused on creating programming for underrepresented and emerging artists.
