Guest Instructor: Melissa Penley Cormier

Melissa Penley Cormier, CNMS Research Graphics, will be joining the Library Spotlight! Guest Instructor Series on Friday, April 23 at noon.

This artist talk will center around photography as evidence and scientific data -- and how the act and process of photography is an excuse to look at, study deeply, and devote time to subjects. Using examples from Special Collections as well as images of her recent works, Melissa Penley Cormier will discuss how art and science inform and inspire each other in her own work as well as others'.
