Saya Woolfalk (b. 1979 in Japan) is a New York-based artist whose multi-year projects No Place, The Empathics, and ChimaTEK, have given birth to a world of the Empathics, a fictional race of women who are able to alter their genetic make-up and fuse with plants. With each body of work, Woolfalk continues to build the narrative of these women's lives and questions the utopian possibilities of cultural hybridity. She has exhibited at PS1/MoMA; Deitch Projects; Contemporary Art Museum, Houston; Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati; the Brooklyn Museum; Asian Art Museum, CA, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and the Studio Museum in Harlem among others.
