Amiable Riffage

Here's some collage work I did. It's a triptych based on the triune model of the human brain. The first two pieces were assembled in my sister's apartment in Las Vegas during the summer of 2007 from a stolen coloring book and some magazines. The third was made during the fall of 2008 after John and I found a bunch of old books in an alley in Soulard.



R. Complex



Limbic System



Neocortex


Triune Model

I'm going to do something cool with framing them eventually.

I first read about the triune brain in 'Broca's Brain" by Carl Sagan about seven years ago. At the time I wrote an article relating each layer to one of life's Three B's--beer, books, and black metal--for the print zine Speak For Yourself.
