Join visual artist and doctoral researcher Quinn Jacobson for a talk on his recent book Glass Bones, an interdisciplinary exploration of mortality awareness and the fragile structures humans build to live with the knowledge of death. Drawing from Ernest Becker, Terror Management Theory, existential philosophy, and decades of studio practice using 19th-century photographic processes, Jacobson examines how creative work can function as a site of metabolization rather than defense. Moving between psychology, philosophy, photography, painting, and memoir, the lecture explores the idea that art is not merely expressive but epistemological: a way of knowing that emerges when inherited structures of meaning begin to fracture.
