Amy Wetsch | Role/Play: Collaborative Creativity and Creative Collaborations | NAS, 12 March 2018

An installation by Amy Wetsch, an MFA student at Mount Royal School of Multidisciplinary Art, filled the foyer outside the conference hall. The work detailed her continuing explorations of the human immune system through the medium of sculpture. Wetsch’s practice considers the impact of disease and illness on the body, specifically in relation to auto-immune conditions, something with which the artist has personal experience. Her fascination with the body’s misdirected inclination to attack itself provides the impetus for her visual explorations.
Role/Play: Collaborative Creativity and Creative Collaborations at the National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC, brought together 54 graduate students from North America representing a wide range of disciplines to present their work to each other.
Organized by Liese Zahabi and Molly Morin.
