visual artist working across painting, sculpture and biological media. In her hybrid works, she embraces distortion as a tool to deconstruct how we see what we see: the relationship between our evolved vision-centricity, constructed socio-cultural systems, and personal desires.Kim is a recipient of the 2026 Wagner Arts Fellowship, 2024 Howard Foundation Fellowship, and the 2017 ICA Boston James and Audrey Foster Prize. In 2022, she received the Creative Capital Award for her project printing images with bacteria that has been genetically-modified to produce melanin. Melanin is the main bio-pigment behind human skin, hair, and eye color. She began this project while an artist-in-residence at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and continues to develop it at Boston University, where she teaches. Through this project, Kim expands her committed study of our visual habits, which she first began in her sculptural paintings using unconventional processes in the studio. Kim is based in Cambridge, MA and is Associate Professor of Art at Boston University. She is represented by Praise Shadows.

Melanin is the main pigment behind human skin, hair, and eye color. I am considering what might happen when the visibility of an image is created through the key pigment behind human appearance through a living process. As a signifier for race and identity, melanin, and the biological process that forms each image, questions the use of vision to justify social constructs.

genetically modified E. coli cells on paper18.5 x 13 in.2022 PROCESS I began looking into melanin as a material in 2015 when I was painting bright colors onto resin casts of human skin for my sculptural paintings. I wondered if it would be possible to make oil paints out of the pigments responsible for human coloration. At the time, I believed that there would be numerous pigments but I soon learned that there are two: eumelanin, which is black/brown and the most ubiquitous, and pheomelanin, which is red and colors red hair. For example, there is no separate pigment that causes blue eyes, which owe their color to the way light reflects back out from the iris. As eumelanin in the iris interacts with reflecting light, eye color changes. <img width="360" height="480" width_o="360" height_o="480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/13eaea2e6f3263189ce0de1032358b6b4b6eebd4dbdda4cb4b3060f7afddbd1e/LucyKim_PowderedMelaninFromSigmaInHand_web.jpeg" data-mid="177075400" border="0" data-scale="75" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/360/i/13eaea2e6f3263189ce0de1032358b6b4b6eebd4dbdda4cb4b3060f7afddbd1e/LucyKim_PowderedMelaninFromSigmaInHand_web.jpeg" />&nbsp; Melanin in powder form, purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. <img width="330" height="416" width_o="330" height_o="416" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e8c8eed240eff77c9abc9efdfb0cbf720972986c3ac9b9af1afde62838f87864/LucyKim_MelaninPlateInHand_cropped_web.jpeg" data-mid="177180258" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/330/i/e8c8eed240eff77c9abc9efdfb0cbf720972986c3ac9b9af1afde62838f87864/LucyKim_MelaninPlateInHand_cropped_web.jpeg" />Melanin made by genetically modified E. coli cells in petri dish. "The most important pigment in the animal kingdom, eumelanin both protects the body and gives it color. " —Nina G. Jablonski, from "Living Color: The Biological and Social Meaning of Skin Color" "Social practices at once constitute the ability to see race while, at the same time, hiding themselves so that race is experienced at an individual level as visually obvious; race becomes simply what is seen. Part of the difficulty in “revealing” these practices is the seductive nature of vision and the significant role it plays in how we understand the social world. Seeing is believing, so to speak, which often leaves race analyses to go no further than what is superficially observed." —Osagie Obasogie, from "Blinded by Sight: Seeing Race Through the Eyes of the Blind" <img width="1230" height="771" width_o="1230" height_o="771" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/98f06cd1491bb1f673b186d376a46552b08846de401c02695359d739246ca077/MelaninAgarTubes_Narrow_LucyKim_MelAProject_web.jpg" data-mid="177075573" border="0" data-scale="95" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/98f06cd1491bb1f673b186d376a46552b08846de401c02695359d739246ca077/MelaninAgarTubes_Narrow_LucyKim_MelAProject_web.jpg" /> Tubes of agar media with different concentrations of melanin. The darker the tube, the higher the amount of melanin. It has taken me three years to develop this process, and I am continuously refining it as I&nbsp; build this project. To create the prints, I screen-print live, genetically modified E. coli cells directly onto paper, and place them in an incubator. As the cells are translucent and the paper is white, the image becomes legible as the cells produce melanin.&nbsp; The 30 second video above is a time-lapse of the live bacteria cells making melanin on paper. As the melanin appears, so does the image, as well as the distortions caused by the cells being living organisms responding to their environment. The image is alive and continues to develop until the cells are killed. When live bacteria is printed onto paper, the cells respond to minute differences in conditions across the paper’s surface. There are tonal variations caused by the cells as they respond to shifts in moisture level, chemical composition, and paper texture. There is also evolutionary drift of the cells as they rapidly reproduce, which changes how much melanin each cell produces (under ideal conditions, E. coli cells double every 20 minutes). Add in the inconsistencies of the human hand to this microscopic biological process, and the result is a unique print. <img width="975" height="748" width_o="975" height_o="748" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d920acfa336d8644e54cb21444283688a7d0966a0717bf868bd4ac32e078deba/LucyKim_MelaninPrint_SmallOpenScreen_Galaxy.png" data-mid="164918291" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/975/i/d920acfa336d8644e54cb21444283688a7d0966a0717bf868bd4ac32e078deba/LucyKim_MelaninPrint_SmallOpenScreen_Galaxy.png" />An example of a melanin print showing the living process of the bacteria cells: The cells were printed to form a flat rectangle, but resulted in this galaxy-like image.
