About Tristan Stamm

Tristan Stamm graduated from Marlboro College with a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts and Environmental Science. His artistic work is greatly influenced by his background in the natural sciences, using biological systems as the underlying framework in many of his pieces. By exploring personal issues through a scientific lens, Stamm hopes to not only better understand his own struggles with sexuality, gender, and masculinity, but to also question preconceived societal norms. Currently he lives in Portland, Maine. To see more of his work, visit cargocollective.com/tdstammart.
