Anubha Sood

Anubha Sood (b. 1992) lives and works in New York City. Her exploratory practice is devoted to the study of bio-materials, from bacteria and human hair to her latest, seagrasses. Her formative years were spent in India, where she witnessed the environmental and social toll exacted by the textile industry in her native home.
