At LSC, Hassett plans to develop some small sample sculptural pieces to progress the R&D stage of the project she is undertaking in Tallaght University Hospital with Dermatology specialists.
Based in Dublin Haslet regularly works collaboratively and interdisciplinary across the interfaces of science, medicine, and art. Outputs from her practice include live works, sculptures, and immersive installations. Like a scientist, she experiments with the physicality of each material and object and returns again and again to explore its strengths, limitations and how it might transform in relation to its environment, her performing body, or other materials.
