Look out for Dr. Charlotte Sleigh on ITV Meridan News on Thursday 16th October at 6pm talking about her new AHRC-funded project which examines art and science relationships through the analysis of a 300-year-old English copy of Ovid’s Metamorphoses.
The project, being led by Dr Sleigh, working alongside scientist Simon Park and artist Sarah Craske, will ‘read’ the book thorugh a biological lens, analysing the bacteria, fungi, viruses and skin cell it has picked up as it has been passed from reader to reader. Their findings will be displayed in a final exhibition.
Find out more about the project here, and keep up to date by liking their facebook page.
