Scope of the Natural is the culmination of The Firehouse Art Center's Winter Residency partnership with NEST Studio for the Arts, featuring the work of MFA Sculpture Student Amy Hoagland and Ph.D. Social Psychology Candidate Jennifer Cole. The exhibit is part of a social psychology research study, which offers a unique and exciting opportunity to participate in scientific research while viewing art. The research study will be conducted within this site-specific art installation featuring an artificial natural environment, creatively addressing the boundaries between the natural and artificial in its arrangement and construction. Scope of the Natural uses art to inform science and science to inform art. Data collected by the University of Colorado from visitors at the Arbor Institute in Boulder, CO will form Phase Two of this research study created by social psychologist Jennifer Cole. Phase One was completed at the Firehouse Art Center in Longmont, CO.
