"Art + Science" juried by Ruth West and Sarah Attwood features explorations into the unknown. First place went to Renee Richetts for her installation piece "He'll Go Far." Renee utilizes a blender and goldfish to challenge the question "Do different blending method affect the calcium loss in fresh food?" Second place went to artist Natalie Garduno for her wood/mixed media piece "My Periodic Table" which plays with the ideas of 'elements' and 'inspiration.' Third place went to artist Paula Poole-Stalbaum for her aquatint piece "Mars 1976/2001" Paula's piece presents the pictures taken of the 'Face' on Mars in 1976 and 2001.

Juror's Statement:

Juror's Statement by Ruth West and Sarah Attwood: " Art is a way of knowing our universe. Our quest for understanding has lead to the development of technologies to pry open atoms and look to the farthest reaches of the universe. All the while, an ultimate understanding of ourselves and the nature and origins of life eludes us. The work of the artists in this show spans this range of inquiry, from cosmology and environmental concerns, to the smallest scales inside of cells and the infinite permutations of patterns we see in nature. While posing more questions than answers, each work takes a personal approach to the notions of artistic practice as a mode of inquiry."
