Cynthia Budlong exhibit desi8ner77 By Brooke Ross Oregon Daily Emerald Delicate web-footed birds, scaly frogs and fuzzy-haired bees now line the walls of the University’s Museum of Natural History. But it isn’t a new campus zoo, only the seemingly life like creations of two dozen artists. Sight & INSight, a new exhibit showcasing the work of 24 Oregonian scientific illustrators, opened at the museum last week. The gallery show will run through December, along with several related lectures and classes open to the public, including next month’s classes, “Drawing Nature” and “Stippling the Wild Asparagus.” Cynthia Budlong, exhibit designer at the museum, said scientific illustra tion combines science and art to make exact examples of insects, other ani mals and physiological body process es commonly displayed on the pages of scientific journals. She said these kinds of illustrations are often used for wildlife, medical and children’s publi cations. “The idea is for people who love both art and science,” she said. “The variety is just amazing.” She said each artist has two pieces on display, including black-and-white drawings, paintings and three-dimen sional models. Budlong, who helped choose the pieces for the display, said a photo graph and a short biography are in cluded with each artist’s work. “I wanted to make it personal and get the artists more involved,” she said.
