Dr. Jennifer Crouch is an art-science practitioner and researcher working in sculpture, textiles, installation and image-making. The fleshy, detailed and textural nature of their work investigates the multi-scalar nature of embodied knowledges and how materials, sensations and biogeochemical cycles intersect and shape our subjectivities.
Jennifer has a background in physics and medical illustration, which informs their work as a public engagement professional, which they enact as an author and through interactive events and workshops such as those developed as a member of Jiggling Atoms. They are an associate lecturer on the MA in Art and Science at Central Saint Martins, a sessional lecturer in textiles at Morley College, and have taught in multiple universities on the topic of art-science, textile research methodologies and creative practice across the UK and Europe.
They were awarded their PhD in 2023 from the University of Portsmouth, titled Re-corporealising MRI Data: A Practice-based Investigation through Art and Science. Their thesis is an exploration of corporeal matter, embodied knowledge, disability studies, disease and MRI physics via queer feminist science studies, the critical posthumanities, and post-digital practices of sculpture, weaving textiles and illustrated cartographies.
Jennifer’s research can be found on their PhD website and have been published with .able journal an image-based journal at the intersection of art, design, and sciences responding to the complexities of today’s society.
