Connecting Bonds - STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY
On View from September 10, 2026 - September 6, 2027
The Creative Corner, in the SBU Chemistry Building, is a collaborative effort between the Chemistry Department and the Arts Everywhere Initiative.
Connecting Bonds highlights the influences, associations, and synergies between the arts and sciences. Chemistry, in particular, is the study of matter—its composition, properties, and structure—and the transformations that matter undergoes. It’s an art form in and of itself and is intricately tied to almost every aspect of our daily lives. We aim to inspire Chemistry students and the broader student body to explore ways in which their field of study can be linked to various personal interests related to chemistry.

ARTIST RESIDENCY @ CAUMSETT FOUNDATION
AUGUST + SEPTEMBER
Christie Jones
My work explores climate change in coastal ecosystems by translating a sense of place through colors crafted from earth pigments into textures inspired by local landscapes. Committed to sustainability, I create these non-toxic paints, using both my artwork and educational workshops to foster awareness and inspire collective action to protect our environment.
As the Caumsett Artist in Residence, I will create a body of work that documents the park’s landscapes through color and texture. During my residency, I will create handmade paints from earth and mineral pigments found within the park (pending permission to collect small rock samples) along with sustainably sourced pigments that I currently use. These natural materials will form the basis of a series of works on paper and canvas, capturing the unique hues and textures of Caumsett’s diverse landscapes. My goal is to visually archive the park’s natural palette while fostering a deeper connection between the community and the land.
