Two Bodies, Art by Kate Citrin
In classical mechanics, the two-body problem refers to the challenge of determining the motion of two gravitationally interacting objects. The motion of one object is governed by the gravitational influence of another. We are all two-body problems; each of our acts influencing one another without touching. Our impacts far out-span our known and seen reach. The two bodies of work in this show explore our relational, societal, and environmental impacts.
