ABOUT FEAR ALCHEMY
Fear Alchemy is an ongoing, season-based body of work exploring fear as a base material and its transmutation through art.
The project unfolds through the classical stages of alchemy, using ritual, research, and site-responsive materials to engage states of breakdown and change.
The work develops slowly, allowing time, matter, and process to shape each piece.
