Very happy to share this lovely conversation with visual artist, experimental printmaker, and filmmaker Susan Aldworth.
“Susan Aldworth is a visual artist who lives and works in London. She is an associate lecturer on the Art & Science MA at Central Saint Martin’s, London. Aldworth studied philosophy at Nottingham University and fine art at Sir John Cass, London. She is an experimental printmaker and filmmaker with a strong interest in investigating the workings of the human mind, especially consciousness, sleep and our sense of self. She has developed experimental print techniques to realise her ideas including the historic Transience etchings printed directly from human brain tissue.”
We talk about neuroscience, consciousness and the human brain, the ways in which Aldworth is inspired by art, philosophy, and science, and about her latest projects including "Out of the Blue", a kinectic sculpture installation project that looks at epilepsy through the stories of 100 people.
