Dan Lam is a sculptor who is originally from the Philippines, when she was young her family relocated to Texas. She received a BFA in fine art at the University of North Texas and a masters from Arizona state university. She currently lives and works in Texas.
In her work she uses polyurethane foam, resin, pigments, and paint to create blob-like forms that appear to be dripping. She enjoys using bright colors and highlighting texture. She works in a variety of sizes, some of her work small enough to fit on a phone case and some large enough to stand under. Lam has been in a number of group and solo shows. Her work is currently being installed in a branch of Meow Wolf, a business that creates large scale immersive installations, that is set to open in Grapevine Texas.
Lam considers her work something that feels that it has a connection to nature without being a direct representation. She has spoken about being interested in the idea of allowing people to decide what the work reminds them of. She enjoys hearing what people come up with because for her that means that she is doing well at pushing the boundaries of the medium used.
