About Kristin LeVier
I create minimalist contemporary sculpture inspired by my deep fascination with the natural world, and labor to make innovative work that explores the intersection of art and science.
The two decades I spent as a research molecular biologist allowed me to explore the depth and complexity of our world. I saw in nature a remarkable, well-ordered system full of solutions essential to our existence, and I continue to view the world through the lens of a scientist.
I began working as a studio artist 13 years ago, and I'm driven to make art that connects us to the extraordinary, strange beauty of the natural world. The structure of a leaf or the movement of a bacterium can be astonishingly lovely, and I sculpt with the aim of shining a light on the unsung allure of the subtle and the tiny.
Through my work I hope to deliver scientific content viscerally and use the human capacity for curiosity to prompt us to look more closely at the tiniest details of the fantastically rich and beautiful world around us.
- I've been passionate about both art and science for as long as I can remember. A look into a microscope at the age of 6 started me on a long pathway toward a career as a molecular biologist, and I studied plants and bacteria in the lab for 20 years before transitioning to studio art full time 13 years ago.
- My pathway to sculpture started nearly 25 years ago with wood furniture: I wanted to live surrounded by beautiful design, but didn't have the money to afford nice furniture. So I learned to make it, and fell in love with woodworking in the process.
- I work in Moscow, Idaho, where I am inspired by nature in all its forms, by snow and ice, and by the beautiful rolling hills that surround me.
- Despite being a friendly, maternal type, I love tentacles, fangs, horns, claws. Fierce creatures fascinate me. I love natural history museums almost as much as I love art museums.
