Connecting the Dots Workshop starts
this Saturday, April 21 at 2 pm, following a gallery lecture

Participants get to experience printmaking as well as drawing and painting, to create a grouping of molecule-inspired designs. They will then cut and assemble these elements into a movable, molecule-like structure, and take home their creation.

Join us at noon for a mini reception then stick around for a science and art talk at 1 pm
and the workshop at 2.

This will be a great day and fun for all ages.

Review and Upcoming Events

Connecting the Dots between
Science and Art at Spruill Gallery

Written By Lilly Lampe on April 4, 2012

In Connecting the Dots’s statement, Dilling compares the artist’s mission to that of the scientist in that both question the world around them, what it is made of, and how it works. She writes, “Chemistry has caused me to look at my art in a new way, seeing atoms and molecules in the work, reacting with each other and bonding to form more complex shapes and clusters.” The resulting work begins with her Little Worlds print series, which uses imagery from microscope slides of molecules. Black and white representations of molecules streaked with what seem like synapses and blood vessels are printed in exact circles and ovals, like a tissue sample on a slide or perhaps a porthole view into an interior world. The works are a somewhat literal translation of molecular forms into art and seem as sterile as slides in a lab, though perhaps that was Dilling’s intent.

Join us for the opening reception of this amazing show linking chemistry and art
Thursday, March 22 from 6 - 9 PM

Terri Dilling has been a visiting artist at the Center for Chemical Evolution in Atlanta, exploring chemical evolution through art. She is especially interested in the way simple elements grow into structured patterns and complex diversity. "Connecting the Dots" presents her new body of prints, paintings, video, and installation. The show includes collaboration with Leisa Rich and the "Primordial Soup" includes a collaboration of 14 other artists.

And don't forget the Gallery Talk and Artists Workshop on Saturday, April 21 from 1 - 3 PM. We welcome David Lynn, Chair of Chemistry at Emory University for a science and art lecture. Plus, Terri Dilling and Leisa Rich will present a hands on workshop where you can create a visual element related to the exhibition.

This project is supported in part by NSF/NASA Center for Chemical Evolution.

Final Week to view OUT OF PRINT

Terri Dilling, Orbits 3, 2009, Monoprint

If you have not made it into Spruill Gallery for Out of Print, what are you waiting for?! Time is running out. You don't want to miss this collection of historic Atlanta printmakers as well as the plethora of local faculty and expert printmaking students on display through Saturday. Also in the gallery is an extensive collection of Nexus Press artist's books that are sure to awe and placate your artistic hunger.
