Art and the Brain: Plasticity, Embodiment, and the Unclosed Circle (Consciousness, Literature and the Arts)
This book offers a profound assessment of our ever-evolving view of the biological brain as it pertains to embodied human experience.
Review
The strength of Art and the Brain certainly lies in intriguing theoretical discussions of framing structures and visual foundations through the deep historical contexts of the neurosciences.

Kandinsky’s Brain: A Monochromatic Improvisation of Yellow-Red-Blue
Monoprint on archival paper.
This monoprint is based on Kandinsky’s Yellow-Red-Blue (1925), now in Paris, at the Centre Georges Pompidou. Unlike the monoprint, Kandinsky’s painting’s geometry, color, flow, and abstract shapes are evocative of grapheme-color synesthesia. Indeed, it seems to suggest a person experiencing vivid ‘synesthetic’ imagery.

Homage to Sol LeWitt (2015)
Homage to Sol LeWitt (2015) offers an homage to Sol LeWitt’s legacy of conceptual rigor and geometric clarity. The interplay of oil and pencil creates a dialogue between painterly mark making and linear precision, echoing LeWitt’s investigations of structure while asserting my own interest in perception, the power of visual syntax, and artistic process.

Blue Eclipse (1998)
The sliver of white paint outside the forms that suggest a circle in this medley accentuates that geometries can evoke phenomena. Key here is how the shades of blue, green, and white come together perceptually to suggest and add a spatial depth that teases the viewer’s experience of it. Continue reading “Blue Eclipse (1998)”

Homage to Ellen Alice Terry (2013)
This digital work celebrates Dame Alice Ellen Terry (1847–1928), an English actress of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born into a family of actors, Terry began performing as a child, acting in Shakespeare plays in London, and toured throughout the British provinces in her teens.
Reflections on Water #4 (1998)
Reflections on Water #4 is another work in the perceptual inquiry referencing water begun in 1991. The earlier works are Reflections on Water #1 (1991), Reflections on Water #2 (1992) and Reflections on Water #3 (1998). The first two paintings emphasized transparency, overlay, and compositional variation using water-based paints and an airbrush. The third rendition used oil paint and a wood panel. This piece is a monoprint conceived on paper using oil-based inks and a press.
Expressive Sketch (2016)
Some rippling of the paper due to the dilution of the water-based medium.
