Rebecca Kamen, Penn artist-in-residence and visiting scholar, has created a series of pieces that highlight how the creative processes in art and science are interconnected. In her current exhibition at American University, “Reveal: The Art of Reimagining Scientific Discovery,” Kamen chronicles her own artistic process while providing a space for self-reflection that enables viewers to see the relationship between science, art, and their own creativity.
