Also including artists from the exhibition, Laura Battle, Jane Fine, Tara Geer, Wennie Huang, William Holton, Margaret Neill, Sumru Tekin, and Virgil Wong- artist and doctoral student in Cognitive Psychology,

How do artists think through drawing? How do they use drawing to explore, discover and invent, and what can that teach us about the human brain and cognitive process more generally? How can artists explore themes of memory, and forgetting, sensation and perception through drawing and what might that teach all of us about ourselves? What are some common themes among artists, and where do their ideas and strategies diverge?

In conjunction with the exhibition
