Hi, I’m Dawn Fós
I am an interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of material processes, ecological systems, and collective ways of knowing. My practice spans ceramics, sculpture, printmaking, and alternative photographic processes, and is grounded in research and material experimentation. I often integrate sound, light, and time-based elements to explore how physical systems, biological, chemical, and environmental, shape perception and shared experience.
My Approach
Rooted in research, observation, and material testing. I work through iterative processes that combine ceramics, photographic chemistry, printmaking, and sculptural fabrication to examine ecological and physical systems. By treating materials as active variables, subject to time, heat, chemical reaction, and environmental conditions, I use making as a method for investigating how systems behave and how perception is shaped through material change.
Simple ideas
guide my work. I focus on processes that allow materials, systems, and time to do the work rather than forcing outcomes. By staying attentive to method, research, and restraint, I aim to create space for work that develops slowly and holds meaning over time.
