Artist Rachel Sussman has spent over a decade creating and portraying the dynamic relationships with personal and cosmic time. During her lecture, Rachel will discuss several of her projects including(Selected) History of the Spacetime Continuum, Cosmic Microwave Mandala, and Sidewalk Kintsukuroi. From 2004 to 2014, Rachel worked on one of her larger projects, Oldest Living Things on Earth, culminating in years of research, working with biologists, and traveling all over the world to photograph continuously living organisms 2,000 years old and older. The work spans disciplines, continents, and millennia: it’s part art and part science, has an innate environmentalism, and is driven by existential inquiry.
