MRI drawings

This recent series focuses on physicality and emotion, depicted through the use of random MRI scans as source material, and various CAT scan imagery depicting the emotive activity of the brain. Using raw graphite in various densities as a drawing medium, each drawing on Fabriano BlackBlack© paper is a study of a random brain MRI scan from google overlaid with tiny square perforations that map an emotional state - iridescent reflective mylar and black silk velvet mounted behind the drawing is revealed through the holes and creates a kinetic sparkling spatial effect when viewing the pieces from various angles. This is an ongoing series, investigating perception and psycholgy, aspects`inherent in looking at and appreciating art.
