Ephemeral Traces: Featuring the work of artists Nigel Helyer, Mike Singe, Derek Hart and Jane Quon.


The 'Ephemeral Traces' exhibition held in conjunction with the 'Fourth International Science Symposium on Bio-logging' focuses on the synergies between art and science.

The complex themes presented in bio-logging are addressed directly in the work of some artists while others utilise scientific methodologies or address current critical issues in environmental science.

In some cases aesthetics may dominate, in others a critique of the expectations and assumptions we make about scientific theory may be offered.
