Dan Lam is an American sculptor of Vietnamese ancestry best known for her strange, brightly colored "drippy" sculptures. Using non-traditional inorganic materials such as polyurethane foam, acrylic paint, and epoxy resin, she creates sculptures that resemble alien organisms, genuinely extraterrestrial in their composition. Embracing the chaotic behavior of her chosen materials, Lam plays the role of a mad scientist in her studio, creating her mouthwatering, otherworldly sculptures through intuition and play with careful control. Her finished work oozes over itself, gushing over shelf ledges, holding space for sensations of desire and disgust.
