Research Interests

Ingrid Koenig’s drawings explore phenomena of physics and responses to specific sites through fieldwork in Canada’s Rocky Mountains, Germany, Iceland, the Arctic Circle and through collaborations with physicists. She uses drawing to map interactions of material and energy systems – climate change, geophysical forces, tectonic plates, magnetism, planetary motion, evidence of deep time, navigation - and to consider the language of material forces as conversations between phenomena. She is co-investigator with artist and writer Randy Lee Cutler on a SSHRC Insight grant called Leaning Out of Windows: Art and Physics Collaborations through Aesthetic Transformations, which explores how knowledge is translated across disciplines. Her recent publications include Leaning Out of Windows: An Art and Physics Collaboration, Wandering the Magnetosphere, and SubStance – Breaking Earth.
