Visit this bright, colourful science art exhibition, meet the artist and get hands on with a facilitated drop-in art workshop inspired by the exhibition.
Janice Aitken is a leader in the field of art and public engagement. She has worked in collaboration with scientists for over 20 years on a wide range of projects from illustrations for major scientific papers and journals to exhibitions of digital works and an animated video learning tool based on the eukaryotic cell.
For this exhibition she has created a body of work inspired by biological forms that also incorporates elements of synaesthesia, psychedelia with a little bit of science fiction thrown in. Also featured is a group of works created in collaboration with Dr Mattie Christine Pawlowic whose lab researches potential treatments and prevention of cryptosporidium infection.
As well as enjoying the artworks, you can have a go yourself to create your own artwork inspired by the exhibition and the research that takes place in the School of Life Sciences. It is a drop-in workshop, so come along at any time.
All children must be accompanied by an adult.
This event is part of Open Doors Day and Explorathon.
