Interphase brings together the thesis work of undergraduate and graduate Life Studies students whose practices traverse art, science, story, and personal narrative. Rooted in sustained research and shaped through dialogue, mentorship, and critique, these artworks reflect a year of deep engagement—of listening, questioning, and making.

Each work is a world in itself: an ecosystem of materials, memories, and meanings. Emerging through the complexities of trauma, nostalgia, and memory, these pieces bear witness to the emotional and embodied dimensions of creative inquiry. Together, they explore the body as a site of reflection and the studio as a space of transformation. These artists consider how we come to know, and how we might know differently—through care, through entanglement, through reimagining what it means to live and create in relation.

Life Studies thanks the Joan and Clifford Hatch Foundation for their ongoing and invaluable support of the specialization.

Process Space is a new site responsive staging of Directional Shielding (2025) and Joycon Drift (2025) (initially installed with Please… Touch the Grass) - in the Process Gallery space of Gallery 1313 for the interphase exhibition.

This new iteration is named for the gallery space as well as for the invisible processing of calculations and executables required to run the background processes and applications which gives a computer or device user an apparently seamless experience.
