Title: Drawing as a way of knowing for art and science

This talk presents drawing as a way of knowing for art and science through the development and dissemination of drawing practices that extend understanding of, and engagement with, the diversity of natural form. Led by drawing practice, the approach encompasses a set of experimental methods including interdisciplinary collaboration, museum collection study and workshop design, often within the context of scientific institutions like the Natural History Museum. This artistic research has contributed to the development of two interlinked bodies of artistic research (and two new terms and practices) ?Isomorphology?: the observational study of the shared forms and symmetries of animal, mineral and vegetable species, and ?Isomorphogenesis?: the systematic representation of dynamic form through drawing.

CV: Gemma Anderson studied Fine Art Printmaking at the Royal College of Art and Falmouth University. She has collaborated on a number of innovative art/science projects including ?Hidden Geometries? with the Mathematics Department at Imperial College London; ?Isomorphology? and the ?Cornwall Morphology and Drawing Centre? with the Natural History Museum, London; and ?Portraits: Patients and Psychiatrists? (Wellcome Trust Arts Award 2009) in collaboration with psychiatrists and patients at Bethlem Royal Hospital. She completed a PhD in Arts at the University of the Arts London in 2015 and is currently a research fellow at the University of Exeter and associate Lecturer in Drawing at Falmouth University. Her book Drawing as a Way of Knowing in Art and Science (Intellect Press 2017) will be launched September 2017.
