Seema Lisa Pandya (Video & Art Design) is multidisciplinary visual artist, sustainability consultant, and professor of sustainable design. Her artwork explores the intersection between sustainability, art, culture, and the built environment with pieces ranging from interactive kinetic sculptures, light sculptures, public art, street art happenings, amoeba shaped fractal paintings, video animations, and a specific series reflecting her South Asian cultural heritage. Reclaimed and discarded materials are often used in her work addressing local sourcing and material lifecycles. Her current body of work includes two primary series. The “Amoeba” series explores undulating organic form and has used reclaimed wood and felled trees. The “Tabla” series is an exploration of biological form, nature, and music as a visual aesthetic and features reclaimed leather heads of the tabla drum woven in nature inspired forms. Seema's work has been featured in Vogue India, Fine Wood Working Magazine, in NYC venues such as Pioneer Works, Plaxall Gallery, BRIC Arts, Wagner College, FIT, Prospect Park, Governor’s Island, Lincoln Center, and at Leon Gallery, and Revolutions Collective Art Space in Colorado.
