Pills, Potions & Points: Letterpress Art in Science

Have you ever wondered how a 1950’s metal type fleuron can explain cutting edge Parkinson’s research? Who the naked reverse wifi guy is and what he’s got to do with enzymes? Or how flight and neurons can be connected? Glint lover Elizabeth Fraser has. In this lecture at the St Bride Foundation, she will explain her love of pattern, science and her journey bringing letterpress and the laboratory together.
This online lecture (via Zoom, next Tuesday 21st July) is by Elizabeth Fraser a.k.a Frauhaus who is an artist and printmaker working mostly with letterpress and linoprint. As well as puzzling over make-ready and inspiration in her garden studio Elizabeth teaches as an Associate Lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge. Her prints and artist books have been loaned, donated and acquired by Kent University special collections archive, Oxford University Bodleian Library, RIT Cary Graphic Arts Collection and The British Library. Most recently an essay about her sci-art work has been included in the book Ways of Thinking published by Ruskin Arts.

Why not take some time out and book for next Tuesday, 21st July 6.00–7.30pm Tickets: £3.00 – 5.00
