About (In)visible Structures
(In)visible Structures is a solo exhibition of paintings by Rebecca Rutstein. Working at the intersection of art and science, Rutstein’s artistic practice visualizes environmental processes that connect and sustain all life on earth despite being invisible to the naked eye. This exhibition draws from Rutstein’s established body of works inspired by oceanic voyages with scientists, presenting her Kama’ehuakanaloa Series painted at sea during an expedition off the coast of Hawaii in 2023. Rutstein also presents two new paintings signaling her current artistic explorations: Brine Forest (2025) is a mesmerizing composition based on Rutstein’s artistic research with scientists studying the microscopic activity within salt channels in Arctic sea ice. Shape Shifter (2025) pulsates with a network of interconnected abstract patterns inspired by underground fungal networks that enable trees to communicate and are integral to the forest ecosystem. Rutstein’s works inspire contemplation and awe while also fostering knowledge and respect for the hidden processes at work in the natural world.
(In)visible Structures is curated by Heather Moqtaderi, Interim Director of Environmental Art
