‘Creative Reactions’ brings together scientific researchers and artists to bring to life the amazing diversity of University research through the medium of art.
'Hepatic' by Emily Krainc, a piece focused on research of Professor John Iredale based on fibrosis, the process of scarring.
Over 30 University of Bristol researchers from many different Schools got involved in Creative Reactions, including those from Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, Cellular and Molecular Medicine and Experimental Psychology which from August this year will be part of the new Faculty of Life Sciences.
The event was a great success, with art being displayed in Hamilton House for members of the public view and talk to the researchers and artists behind each piece.
One of the event organisers Matthew Lee said:
‘Creative Reactions allows for engagement between researchers, artists and the public to allow researchers to communicate what their research is all about.
This is a great way to encourage the public to get involved with science and also encourages the academics and artists involved to think about their work from different perspectives.’
