Material Biases is a series of condensed installations predicated on the idea that the word 'material' itself is a bias which implies that matter is 'for human use.' They are material discoveries used to either experiment for new works in other series' without producing waste, or simply to experiment. The materials list comprehensively tracks the chemical composition of each sculpture, which has been made almost exclusively from waste materials.
