At the Intersection of Art and Science
Multi-disciplinary artist Linda Alterwitz uses the authenticity of science and the believability that comes with diagnostic imagery to create work that has an electric presence. Combined with nature, the union elevates the two elements to a place of unexpected beauty.
The fusion of opposites best summarizes her work – the known versus the unknown, the rational versus emotional. At a time when science is so often maligned, she believes it to be a vast source of creative possibilities. Her hope is that her art will encourage people to consider the mysterious relationship between the unseen rhythms of the human body and our ongoing connection to a natural world in flux.
Ms. Alterwitz's presentation is co-sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic for Humanistic Studies and the Kravis Department of Integrated Sciences (KDIS) at CMC.
