The “Conjured Formations” series submission is an evolving discourse between Brandt's imaginative cellular based fiber art installations and the two dimensional format of painting.
These works offer a glimpse into Brandt's interests in biology and art since she was a child. The wonderment of looking at slides through a plastic microscope that was part of a science kit she received for her 10th birthday presented a spectacular world of color, shape, and life invisible to the naked eye. Her compositions are not literal, rather they are created from her memories of those spectacular images she saw on slides as a little girl. These memories have inspired her to build on that experience of colorful, unexpected life forms.
