Gemma Anderson, Past Exhibitor at the Japan House Gallery is Artist in Residence at Imperial College

Gemma Anderson, who had a  2010 exhibition at the Daiwa Foundation Japan House Gallery, has been selected as artist in residence  at the Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London. Imperial College were awarded with an Artist in Residency grant from the Leverhulme Trust. In her residency, Anderson is collaborating with mathematical biologist Dr Dorothy Buck and geometers Dr Tom Coates and Professor Alessio Corti.

“Gemma Anderson’s artwork explores subjects including astronomy, biology, mineralogy, and zoology, and emphasizes the epistemological value of drawing. Anderson juxtaposes the ‘hieroglyphics of nature’ of different species, creating delicate and intricate drawings through which she questions established taxonomies and systems of classification.”
