Artists in Residence

Integration between science and art can take both fields to a new level of understanding. We are always interested in finding ways to collaborate with artists in the lab, including hosting artists in residence. We just hosted our first artist in residence in 2017, and look forward to hosting more in the future. If you are interested in visiting the lab as an artist, please contact Marjorie.

Rachel Gordon (Visited April, 2017)

 ​Rachel Gordon is an animator and illustrator from Toronto, Canada. Her background in Film and Women and Gender Studies informs much of her work, and she is currently pursuing a degree in Media Production. Rachel is working with assistant professor Marjorie Weber and the department of plant biology to create animated representations of scientific theories, such as indirect defence and competitive domination. In her role as artist-in-residence she seeks to expand upon the intersections of science and art and foster communication between the fields and the creators within them. Rachel's website.
