Artmaking as thinking in action.
My PhD research shows how brain, body, and materials interact in the creative process to construct meaning through embodied and material engagement. #PhDDefense #ArtisticThinking #EmbodiedCognition #MET #AcademicSky

I came across these steadfast poplars marking the continuity of time in a #summer field. As the #floating clouds swept by, I thought about the cycles of life.

Not sure if it counts for #stunday.😄

Hmm. That's a good prompt Michael. I'm debating between nature and culture. For this one, I chose culture: Democratic process. Something we aspire to live by and should safeguard.
