Bio: Reo Eveleth is an award-winning reporter and writer who explores how humans tangle with science and technology. Most recently, they’re the creator and host of the podcast Tested from CBC and NPR's Embedded. Before that, they made the hit independent podcast Flash Forward. Their work has been nominated for a Peabody, an Emmy, and an Eisner Award, and has appeared in the Best American Science and Nature Writing, and they've covered everything from fake tumbleweed farms to million-dollar baccarat heists for places like The Atlantic, Scientific American, Eater, ESPN's 30 for 30 podcast, and more. They're also a sculptor, union organizer, plant propagator, and powerlifter.

Statement: Reo Eveleth creates abstract, organic, playful forms that embody concepts of extrusion and escape. Working with a wide variety of materials (clay, concrete, glass, slime, foam, stuffing, wood and more) they make pieces that tell tiny stories pressure and containment, and what happens when elements break free from those walls.
