From Stars to Strokes at Wright Lab
Students created multi-tiered painted “clocks of time” that represented the history of the Universe in conversation with the history of art.
My connection to the sciences, and draw to make images at Wright Lab, can be summed up by their motto: ‘exploring the invisible universe’. I feel that this quest for the invisible is mirrored in any sustained art practice—however, rather than looking outwards to the cosmos, or studying neutrinos, artists look within themselves for the invisible, or the unconscious.
