Flows Like Water by Pam McKinlay
Posted: Monday Jun 17, 2024
Flows Like Water is a celebration of the art-sci practice of Pam McKinlay, weaver, sculptor, photographer and curator.
The book shines a light on her career as an artist first taking part in the Art+Science project through to her leadership of the project from 2018 onwards. This lavishly illustrated collection is an account of projects that she has made, curated, or been involved in, or all three. In Flows Like Water, you will find a deep account of the kinds of discoveries one can make by bringing together artistic and scientific method in such a way that each approach speaks equally.
