Zoë Kyn (b. 2003, Los Angeles) is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in sculpture and installation. Informed by her experience working in microbiology labs at Stanford University, her practice explores the ecological and existential dimensions of decay, with a particular focus on microorganisms as agents of transformation in both natural systems and human narratives.
Kyn works with organic materials — soil, scoby, mycelium, salvaged wood, and beeswax — to create sculptural forms that engage processes of decomposition and regeneration, treating fungi and bacteria not as subject matter but as active collaborators in the formation of the work. She is currently completing her BAS in Art Practice and Biology at Stanford University.
