Aboutness is an artistic response to the work of four neuroscientists. These works explore the different methods of work employ by art and neurosciences when studying the brain.
So I asked: How to respond about how the brain works, by using the same thing that I am looking at the creative brain? in what manner does the artist represent the brain-within the brain? What, for example, goes on in the brain when something “mysterious” is made to manifest? What are the common connectors, (subjectivity/objectivity) that both artists and scientists employ when arriving at the moment of anticipating an event or knowledge about the brain? how do the spontaneous/authentic responses of the art making relates to the theory of how the brain works? how does the distant intellectual spectator and the engaged involved participant relates to the experimental representation of the brain? what is the poetic relationships of having to represent such a complex

object such as the brain? What is the interplay of all these making- understandings?

Central to this work is the idea of relationship and observation and what forms arise. Through the material exploration of color choice and scale, proximity and distance, thickness and thinness, unity and separation, the work offers a mist, suspending the self and the eyes and perhaps a story might unfold.
