Many congratulations to Lauren Black on this great opportunity. Lauren will use her scholarship to visit collections in museums in Paris, Italy and the UK, where she will take particular note of medical and botanical collections. Lauren would like her work to build a bridge between art and science that opens our understandings of the body – work which began with her Memento Mori Exhibition in 2015.
May this Churchill Fellowship underpin and expand and consolidate new and inspiring work as Lauren has the opportunity to be immersed in some of the most special collections in Europe; the observations of anatomy and botany that were the basis of opening up the wonders of the human body and the botanical world to us over time.
