Working in installation and painting, artist Flora Kao explores the poetics of human relationship with environment. Kao holds a BA in Environmental Science and Public Policy from Harvard College and a BFA in Painting from Otis College of Art and Design. Transforming everyday structures into systems of beauty, Kao investigates architecture and technology in response to the endless replication of data in contemporary life. By repeating ordinary elements like text, line, and sound, I map the physical and psychological congestion of urban experience. Her process oscillates between accident and control, the handmade and the mechanical. Each new overlay responds to the pattern of the layers before. She plays with perception and visual slippage, where data becomes tapestry, street grids dissipate into atmospherics, and consumer waste morphs into musical forests.
