I am delighted to be displaying my work at the National Astronomy Meeting 2026 as part of the "Bridging Perspectives: Art and Science in Collaboration" session. The conference is from 20 July - 24 July.

”Art and science intersect to expand knowledge by creating spaces where diverse expertise can collaborate. In astronomy, the scale and complexity of data and methods can limit creative engagement beyond standard analytical approaches. Art can function as a boundary object: a flexible medium that enables collaboration across disciplines without requiring full agreement (Star, 2010). A single artwork, for example, may be approached by scientists for ideation, outreach or communication, and by artists as an outcome of creative research addressing societal needs. This flexibility allows shared meaning while respecting distinct perspectives. We will discuss three aspects of ArtScience practice:

ArtScience collaborations: Examples of successful projects demonstrate how collaboration can generate new research questions and connect research to societal challenges.
Data visualisation and interdisciplinary tools: Visualisation, extended reality, and sonification are increasingly popular entry points into creative engagement and science communication, allowing teams to negotiate understanding.
Inclusivity and STEAM education: Artistic approaches foreground accessibility, inclusivity, and diverse learning styles. How can they be integrated into scientific practice, education and outreach?

The session builds on our successful NAM 2025 sessions, which brought together artists, scientists, educators, and interdisciplinary practitioners for a fully attended, highly engaging day.”
