Life

Berlier holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from Miami University in Ohio[3] and a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) from the University of California, Davis in 2003.[4]

She has taught in the Stanford University Department of Art and Art History since 2007, and currently serves as an Associate Professor and the Director of the Sculpture Lab.[5]

Work

Her sculptures, which frequently incorporate elements of sound and interactivity, have been described as "cumbersome, mildly comical contraptions."[6]

In 2012, she participated as an artist-in-residence at San Francisco Recology's Art At The Dump program,[7] and since 2013 has served on its board.[5] During her time as artist-in-residence at Recology, Berlier obtained raw material for her work from the dump. Though not all of her materials are found objects, she said that, "appropriated objects have had an ongoing presence in my work. The found object has had a long history in art and I had actually found myself moving away from it in projects prior to the Recology residency."[7]
