  Materials: fabric from worn out firefighter pants, yarn, thread. Processes: I laid a head outline out with dark yarn, and put blue and white yarn in. Ideas: I wanted to represent decay in cognitive ability and memory. The blue yarn represents good synapses and the white represents dead synapses and I made the white rise up like smoke.

Materials: White, black, purple, blue and red ABS plastic. Processes: I found silhouettes of three subjects and replicated them with a 3D pen. Ideas: I wanted to illustrate an exaggerated comparison of three brains. Each has a purple section which represents the amygdala, which is responsible for life critical functions among other things. Red represents the temporal lobe which is responsible for memory and some analysis. The blue region represents the frontal lobe and is responsible for many human characteristics like speech. In reality the distinction between all these sections is not always prominent.
