Celebrating Art and Science: flows like water Book Launch
Posted: Friday Aug 23, 2024
Weaver, sculptor, photographer and curator Pam McKinlay recently celebrated the launch of her latest book, flows like water, at the Dunedin Community Gallery.
The result of ten years of extraordinary collaborative projects, two years in design and six months in printing and book binding, this was a very special volume to celebrate.
Addressing an impressive turnout, Bridie Lonie offered in her launch speech a glimpse into Pam’s visionary approach and honoured Pam’s dedication to bridging the gap between artistic expression and scientific rigour. Guests were treated to excerpts from flows like water, providing an insightful preview, and Dunedin UNESCO City of Literature was proud to support the special event with a Botanical Kitchen cake lavishly decorated with flowers, in celebration of its 10th Anniversary.
The book is a visual feast, generously adorned with illustrations that breathe life into Pam’s narratives. From personal projects to collaborative endeavours, flows like water not only recounts but also vividly illustrates the discoveries and insights gained through Pam’s unique methodology.
The launch was a highlight of the vibrant 2024 Art+Science exhibition programme, ‘Memory and Mind’. Watch a video recap here and read more about flows like water, a celebration of the art-sci practice, here.
