The Student Experience
“The Suffolk University Gallery is a space where students as well as artists outside of the University can come in and display their work. It’s a really unique experience to be inspired by all the different pieces that you walk by when you go to class every morning.”

February 4-March 6, 2025

One of the roles of scientists and artists is to observe and describe the world, there are so many ways to do this. Questions arise: What are the limits of our ability to see? How do we change that? What do we learn by being deeply engaged?
Participating artists Jill Slosburg – Ackerman and Josephine Burr explore what is seen, and what is felt, which can be both internal as well as external, they do so somatically. What is envisioned is gleaned from observation and reflects observing inwardly. Expressing narratives hidden and otherwise, their works are respectively about inquiry, examination, imagination and the real; their materials visceral.
