Viral 2 by Myka Baum, 2016, archival inkjet print on HM Photo Rag
This artwork investigates threats to the natural world and questions the future of food production. Experimental printing processes, horticulture, and installation are utilized to explore the concept of life cycles which lies at the core of the artist's practice.

As an interdisciplinary artist, my work has evolved over time. The majority of my work focuses on the
environment, nature or natural elements in the environment. My work also explores connections;
connections between the natural world and the human body, connections in the environment and the human-to-human
connection through the use of various technologies. Through this exploration, much of my work takes aspects
of nature, science, or society that might typically be unseen by the human eye and brings these aspects into
the normal visual plane.
"PerchBerry" captures unique aspects of the natural world that also happen to be what sustains us, our food. By seeing these aspects in a new way and with a different perspective, new connections can be made and an enhanced appreciation or awareness can be achieved.
