Heather Zehren Albinson grew up on a remote ranch surrounded by wilderness. She currently lives between Barcelona and Lake Tahoe, CA.

​

Working in collaboration with objects, Heather investigates the intersections between matter and consciousness. Referencing her background in environmental science, she employs basic principles of theoretical physics and biology, as well as neuroscience and philosophy, to explore the immateriality of objects and their agency. 

 

By establishing a dialogue with discarded found objects in various states of degradation, Heather reimagines their function and challenges both the subject object divide as well as the illusion of creative authorship. In a world gone mad with rampant manufacturing and overconsumption, she seeks to stimulate discourse about our human relationship to objects, cycles of physical change, and the interconnectedness between the natural, material and immaterial world.
