Art Meets Science (The Art of Translation)
These artists have taken their inspiration from the body – in sickness and health.
Brains and Beauty
Elizabeth Jameson uses MRI scans as a starting point for images that capture the mystery and beauty of the brain. She says, “Reclaiming my MRIs through printmaking, color, and the elements of design disrupts the unsightliness of these digital images and allows a view of the brain that combines beauty and complexity."
Shown here is "Valentine", a coronal view of the Artist’s brain stem, cerebellum, and lateral ventricles.

Self Portrait of the Artist’s Brain 2
Sagittal MRI view of the artist’s brain. A silk painting of an abstract view of the artist's brain. It contains all the emotion and chaos that a black and white brain scan cannot convey.

Emerging
Coronal view of the neo-cortex. “Emerging” shows both the interior and the exterior of the brain. The bright white line of the skull in between acts as the divide between mankind and the universe beyond.

A Tiny World of Green and Gold
Artist Sara Parent-Ramos has been inspired by the microbiome. She says “In my work I explore the wonderful and terrifyingly elusive world thriving inside and outside us, blurring the boundaries between the microscopic and macroscopic in an effort to raise questions about the extent of human agency.” This sculpture is entitled "Symbiont Commensal Parasite 1".
