Elizabeth Shorrock is a Teaching Assistant Professor of Fashion Design and Merchandising in the School of Art and Design. Shorrock's research and professional practice centers on sustainable design and utilization of waste and surplus materials. Her Lunchtime Looks presentation will focus on the exhibition, "Mapping Climate Change: The Knitting Map and the Tempestry Project." She will explore connections between her own interest in sustainable design and the artist Jools Gilson's monumental knitted installation, visualizing climate data. Shorrock and Gilson are currently working together on an international collaboration between WVU students and students at Gilson's home university in Cork, Ireland.

Lunchtime Looks are short presentations and discussions led by speakers with a variety of interdisciplinary backgrounds, who offer unique perspectives on the Art Museum's exhibitions and collections.
