Jerri Bartholomew, Jason Fick, Dana Reason, and Andrew Myers

Little Gallery | March 7–April 8, 2022

While the purpose of a scientific abstract is to distill the contents of a paper, abstraction in art involves the use of shapes, colors and forms to create a composition that may, or may not, have a visual reference. For this exhibition, scientific articles were abstracted to varying degrees and in different ways using paper collage, glass and music. Each step of abstraction loses scientific data and precision, but by becoming less literal, abstraction encourages the viewer to be curious and to ask questions.

The exhibition featured art by Jerri Bartholomew; "Murky Waters," a data sonification video by Jason Fick; and "Weapons of Microdestruction: Retelling the Story of a Parasite and Pacific Salmon in Four Movements," a collaborative performance video by Dana Reason and Andrew Myers.
