With humor, "'Sliding Scale" asks the viewer to examine objects of scientific research and the larger field of science in a new light. In Professor Gail Wight's artworks mice eat through a representation of their genome, butterflies struggle to escape their pins, and beetles tell their stories. Reception on November 10, from 5-7 pm.
Through "Sliding Scale" Gail Wight will be adding her voice to the conference, " Imaging Environment: Maps, Models, Metaphors," November 8-10 at the Stanford Humanities Center, which brings together scholars from the sciences and humanities to consider how the environment is shaped and how we use it.
