How can scientific explanations become poetic images? This is the central question around which Amanda Seibæk’s practice orbits. It serves as a driving force, stretching facts into fiction and visualizing emotion. Inspired by Maggie Nelson’s auto-theoretical works, where no field of knowledge is deemed irrelevant, Seibæk embraces a similarly interdisciplinary approach. Materially, her work bridges painting and printmaking, developing a visual language in which print is liberated by the brush, used as a playful and expressive tool. Through this material exploration, Seibæk seeks to translate and redeem the tension between poetic expression and scientific discourse. Her work asks: how is a blizzard not a heartbreak, and how are invasive species not equal to perseverance?
