Ghost Pollen
2022
borosilicate, projected NFT, 48" x 36" x 24" 2022 A mass of oversized clear glass pollen grains illuminated by an abstracted carnivalesque projection shot through a handmade lens, Ghost Pollen reflects on the impact of technology and human intervention on nature.

Future Hub and Duplex
2022
Gallery View of Future Hub and Duplex Through A Glass, Darkly at The Delaware Contemporary 2022 “Future Hub” (wall) and “Duplex” (floor) address the theme of “Through A Glass, Darkly”, considering the ability of glass to augment human perspective, extending our natural senses. Glass is an instrument for enlightenment and at the same time it is a driver for misinformation.
60" x 40" x 36" borosilicate, mirror 2022 Duplex re-imagines the natural world through a post-anthropocenic lens. Working with borosilicate, Lemaire's surreal transparent sculptural works search for spiritual balance in an ever-shifting, synthetic landscape.

Scenic Route
and Kosmos
2022
14" x 9" x 9" borosilicate, electrodes, transformer, neon Scenic Route explores ideas surrounding analog versus digital. This borosilicate sculpture is a functional marble maze game with many routes for the marble to travel to get from one end to the other through the movement of the hands of the player. At the same time the electricity added to the piece is quickly and easily finding the shortest route through the maze.
18" x 19" x 4" borosilicate, recycled nichrome kiln element, electrode, transformer, argon, neon , xenon Kosmos refers to the intersection of ideas about order, arrangement and adornment, and takes the form of a loop which is reminiscent of a beaded necklace strand. The materials are industrial; a recycled nichrome kiln element that has been transplanted into the borosilicate glass vessel. A mix of noble gasses (rare gases) enable the circulation of energy to be visible as conductive

Synapse
2020
Borosilicate, krypton, phosphor, PLA, rubber, electronics, acrylic box In Synapse, a sensor triggers plasma bulbs to light the the presence of the viewer, acknowledging that the viewer. Is an essential participant in the piece. In this case, the presence of the viewer triggers a visualization of a “synapse” or an impulse passing between two nerve cells. Enlarged mirrored glass pollen beads reflect the light and point to themes of pollination or cross-pollination of ideas. It is a signal in

Pollen Piles
2019
mirrored borosilicate, fabric coated copper wire. 12" x 9" x 8" 2019 An oversized strand of glass beads inspired by microscopic renderings of pollen forms relate to the cross pollination of ideas, and the relationship between humans and nature. Pollen, a metaphor for education, relates to the the way information travels between people, and has the potential to extend beyond one human lifetime.

Tool Path Drawings
2018
borosilicate 2018 G-Code, or toolpath used by computer aided machines as interpreted by the artist's hand, explores the relationship between analog and digital mark making, or tool-paths. Usually the translation goes from analog to digital, but here the absurdity of translating from digital to analog is explored.
