About the Exhibition

About the Exhibition

Building on the groundbreaking foundation laid by Lea Anderson's previous exhibitions, Biomorphia offers an innovative, all-ages art experience that stimulates both your senses and your imagination. Step into an extraordinary universe filled with vibrant, living ideas and discover an exceptional blend of familiar yet radical “alternative” life forms.

This state-of-the-art, immersive art experience delves deep into the captivating realm of “imagined biology”—a striking assembly of meticulously hand-crafted mixed media artworks, electronic design, and interactive animation. With dynamic movement, rich color, and thought-provoking forms, Biomorphia celebrates the intricate and ceaselessly evolving variations of the micro-natural world. Biomorphia is now open for your hands-on exploration.

Biomorphia is a reimagining of our previous exhibit titled “ Microdose”  

Anderson says, “My work draws on a paradox: while all things are made from the same ingredients, each individual organism is still completely unique. I hope to inspire your imagination as well as a heightened appreciation of the natural world, the miracle of life on our planet, and the infinite diversity and preciousness of living organisms. If you love exploring nature, you will love this show!”

New to the exhibit: 

We are excited to unveil an innovative art station brought to life in collaboration with the acclaimed artist Lea Anderson. This unique space invites guests to immerse themselves in the world of art, offering a collection of intricate templates designed by Lea for coloring and personalization. Regardless of age or experience level, everyone is encouraged to express themselves and experiment with color and technique. 

The magic unfolds as completed artworks are scanned and added to our interactive wall, transforming individual creations into a dynamic and collective display of artistry and imagination. This new addition is a celebration of creativity, community, and the enchanting possibilities that arise when art comes to life!

About the

Artist Lea Anderson

Lea Anderson, a San Diego native, has lived and worked in New Mexico since 2003 and has discovered much during her adventures in the dramatic, colorful, and wild desert environment.

Often working in multiples and accumulations, each installation piece or body of work cultivates forms and patterns that suggest complex biological characteristics, and can be compared to botanical material, fungi, ocean life, or microbes. Repetitive patterns interweave with unique and irregular components, creating a dynamic interplay that echoes living systems.

Anderson has exhibited throughout New Mexico and the USA, as well as internationally in Bangkok, Thailand. In 2015, Anderson was invited to create a monumental, digitally-produced installation piece for the Atrium windows of the Albuquerque Museum as their Summer Artist-in-Residence. She received her MFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of New Mexico.

Currently, Anderson is exploring her “biomorphic” artwork in many different forms, including full-room installations, sculpture, mixed media drawings, laser cutting, and immersive collaborations with Electric Playhouse.
