Unframed Sunflower Legacy - Denise Swanson FBIPP
 |
| 'Ra!' by Denise Swanson FBIPP |
Denise Swanson FBIPP has recently taken part in the Turing's Sunflowers Experiment as part of the Museum of Science & Industry.
During an interview about her involvement in the experience, Denise said "I wanted to participate in the Turing sunflower experiment from the start, but my first attempts were sadly futile. From my second sowing, a sole surviving Russian Giant interested me, as it battled against all odds and finally flowered, magnificently standing tall and proud. An upcoming print exhibition called ‘Unframed’ at Oxheys Mill Studios in Preston with ArtLab at UCLan provided an opportunity to try something new and to ensure the legacy of my sunflower lived on. The installation consists of 7 separate fine art prints, each A2 in size, suspended in a clockwise spiral from the rafters, creating an enormous sunflower which gently floats and moves as if in the breeze. Called Ra! the work quietly reflects on the significance of sun worship in every culture."
The installation is on display now as part of the 'Unframed' exhibition at Oxheys Mill Studios in Preston until 1 December, open Fridays & Saturdays between 11am-4pm, with some fabulous work from several other local artists.

BenSoc - The Benevolent Society of the BIPP
The Benevolent Society of the BIPP (or BenSoc to give its familiar name) is run by a dedicated team of volunteers and assists people in need due to illness by means of single grants or loans in case of emergency or long-term hardship. BenSoc also provides help, gives encouragement and friendship.
All BIPP Members are automatically considered to receive it benefits. However BenSoc heavily relies on financial support from Members, and continuing generosity is needed to support an ever growing need. Money is raised by annual donations, fundraising at regional events, and through bankers’ orders and legacies.

The World’s Best Scientific Images Exhibition 2013
We are
pleased to support Dr Afzal Ansary FBIPP and the Science & Technology Facilities
Council (STFC) with The World’s Best Scientific Images Exhibition 2013.
Scientists
creating images to support their research and photographers making images to
record science in all its aspects showing applications of diverse photographic
techniques are encouraged to submit images. 100 of the best – selected by
scientists, photographers, and those working in the field – will be included in
an exhibition that will open in Newcastle in September 2013 as part of the
British Science Festival and will then tour the UK and abroad.
Entries can be submitted from 1 November 2012 until 28 February 2013.
The first International Images of Science Exhibition was held in 2011, coordinated by Dr Afzal Ansary FBIPP. As exhibition coordinator, Dr Ansary commented: “The 2011 exhibition was an overwhelming success reflecting the quality of the images selected. It was seen at the Edinburgh Science Festival, the Palace of Westminster, Royal Albert Hall and at educational establishments in the UK and Europe. The exhibition was a great showcase for the work that scientists do and how they use photography to support research and development. In addition the images are frequently beautiful and fascinating works of art at the same time”.
More
information can be found at www.rps.org/IISE2013
which includes a link to upload submissions.
For more
information about the exhibition please contact exhibition coordinator Dr Ansary by email at afzal@rps.org
