Sculpting Science
A cohort of students in the Spring 2023 Art and Science course collaborated on work that blends art and science in seamless harmony and had the opportunity to work with faculty members in the School of Life Sciences and the School of Art. The students made their own creations after attending research labs throughout the semester for inspiration. They shared their pieces in the “Sculpting Science ” exhibition at Grant Street Studios in Phoenix.
Illuminated Lives
Ben Timpson, assistant professor in the School of Art, turned butterfly wings into portraits of murdered or abused Indigenous women. The portraits created by Timpson, who is part Puebloan, were on view at the “Illuminated Lives” exhibition at the Lisa Sette Gallery in Phoenix.
