Description
"Words & Pictures" is a record of a two day international conference, hosted by Cumbria Institute of the Arts in Spring 2003, which brought together specialists in the arts and sciences to debate and discuss similarities and differences in theory and practice. Delegates included novelists, painters, curators, sculptors, surgeons, university lecturers, illustrators, designers and poets. This book is a delightful visual record of the wonderful presentations by key speakers, debates at the question and answer sessions, plus images of speakers and participants' artwork. The event was accompanied by an exhibition of art inspired by science, which is also featured in this publication. An ideal companion for any artist, scientist or student.
