Here I will introduce research I have begun that will be on display in December’s research festival in the form of a publication. The research involves a collaboration between myself, physics students and researchers, and other likeminded artists. The goal of the research is to explore intuition through the medium of drawing. I believe understanding is strongly tied to drawing, that drawing can aid in understanding, and can display understanding. As a physics student I often felt I didn’t really understand a problem until I had worked through a number of problems and was able to think beyond procedural equations. I think this deeper understanding is stored somewhere in the brain that can be accessed through drawing. I have asked (and continue to ask) collaborators in this project to draw quick sketches around certain ideas that relate to their experience. I try to pick key words that they have spent enough time thinking about to develop an intuition. After a quick interview I create a list of terms and ask them to draw a few of their choosing. Below are a few examples of drawings done so far, and some digital sketches I have done to illustrate possibilities for the collaborators. It is important to note that I am still learning where this project will take me, and I continue to rethink what the end result might look like. I have learned that I need to find a way to standardize the drawing methods. The pure scientists tend to think diagrammatically, where the artists are able to be a little more abstract. I think there are some good ideas here and my job moving forward will be to collect and present the ideas in an engaging publication. Featured below are works by Amy Poliero; a former astrophysics student and current MFA student at Chelsea, Tom Grey; A physical chemistry PhD and multidisciplinary artist, Scarlett; a current year 2 student with a passion for science, Milana Prikhodko; a former student of solid state physics and current MFA student, and Anna Rusova, a professor of nuclear physics at Moscow State University.
