Gail Wight seeks to reveal and evolve the mechanistic universe model into a poetics of Gaia. Symmetries and intuitive capacities of the biosphere are expanded in Gail’s collages, forming a grammar of convergence. Her collaborations with scientists have explored such disparate inquiries as the symbiotic relation between gut microbes and the mind, the effects of wind in color theory, and the alien timescapes of lichen. 

Wight was the 2018 Silicon Valley Laureate and has exhibited work at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, Queens Art Museum and Nevada Museum of Art. While in residence at UCI Beall Center’s Black Box program, Gail Wight is developing Ostracod Rising for the 2024 Future Tense exhibition. More of her work can be viewed here: https://web.stanford.edu/~gailw.
