Hand stitched and bound shibori techniques on habotai silk

Endogenous, meaning ‘from within’, refers to her own Endogenous Depression, but also to the act of giving her inner-most feelings a physical form. This series of sculptures has become the means by which she externalises her continuing battle with depression. Whilst the sculptures represent her inner self, bound by the constraints of depression, their inherent purity and beauty are a testament to the new confidence and inner peace she has gained through her art.
The act of hand stitching and binding the fabric is as important to her as the resulting sculpture. The concept of “the hand healing the mind” is a significant aspect of her work; the repetitive rhythmical action of stitching or binding the cloth being a meditative one. By becoming “one with the cloth” one is taken out of oneself. The act of engaging with the cloth removes one from depressive self-absorption. The realisation of her own depression has led to her preoccupation with how other sufferers envision their own condition. Her resolve is to explore/record these through an extensive series of sculptural pieces.
Her work records the actions found within shibori; stitching, binding, gathering, manipulating and folding - not through the expected dye process, but purely as texture and form. It was whilst in Japan as part of her Embroiderers' Guild mature scholarship studies (May/June 2002) that she first observed the artisans who had spent their entire lives manipulating cloth prior to its being dyed. As a trained musician, she was fascinated to see that the repetitive shibori actions were not only represented on the cloth as pattern and texture, but were also imprinted upon the artisans hands and minds. She wished to learn more about these traditional techniques in order that these skills would not be lost with the passing generations, whilst at the same time developing her own personal shibori vocabulary suitable for the 21st Century.

Eastern Ballad
"I speak of love that comes to mind:
The moon is faithful, although blind;
She moves in thought she cannot speak.
Perfect care has made her bleak.
I never dreamed the sea so deep,
The earth so dark; so long my sleep,
I have become another child.
I wake to see the world go wild."
—Allen Ginsberg

I'm actually really happy with the way this one came out. This is a Lichtenberg figure, also known as captured lightning. I won't bore you with the science behind these, but if you are interested, check out this website: capturedlightning.com/frames/lichtenbergs.html.
I put a green gel on my stobe to make it look like a GFP colored neuron, like these I took a picture of at work. The intricacy in this thing is amazing, and its only about 3"x5"x0.5". I uploaded a full size, so check it out.
Strobist info: Vivitar 285HV at 1/4 power with a green gel. Shot straight up through a 2"x1/4" hole cut in a cardboard box, which has aluminum foil tape across the top. Also a 580 EX II 90° camera right, 1/4 power through an umbrella. Camera on a tripod and fine focus using live view on the 40D.
This photo shows the cerebellum (a part of the brain) of a mouse embryo. Multiplying neurons are shown in red. Purkinje cells, a specific kind of neuron important for the regulation of fine movements, equilibrium, and posture, are shown in green. Blue color indicates all the cell nuclei. This image was taken as part of a NIAMS-supported study of the effect of the enzyme Ezh2 on the development of neurons in the embryonic brain.

Onkologie
Bevor Wissenschaftler die Genese (Entstehung) von Tumorzellen verstehen können, müssen sie ein geeignetes Modell finden, an dem die grundlegenden Vorgänge der Krebsentstehung studiert werden können. Eine Möglichkeit liefern die Zellen des Nervensystems, die sich in Kulturschalen züchten lassen. Man sieht die grünen Ausläufer eines solchen Neurons, die dicht und drängend mit roten und gelben Punkten besetzt sind. Sie zeigen die Stellen an, die dazu dienen, Kontakt mit anderen Zellen aufzunehmen. Man spricht dabei von Synapsen und weiss, dass der Kontakt zwischen den Zellen nicht direkt erfolgt. Es bleibt ein Zwischenraum. Daher erscheinen die bunten Punkte wie hingetupft.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, MAY 27, 2015: Tourists and local public enjoy the Affinity installation at Vivid Sydney, which depict the human brain and neurons. When touched, the orbs set-up a striking display of sound and light. People in motion. Artists: amigo & amigo (Simone Chua & Renzo B. Larriviere ) + S1T2 (Chris Panzetta & Naimul Khaled)

A couple of shots of the newest steed, 2018 Czar Neuron 26. Ever since I got into street trials in 2009 I've wanted to try a 26" street trials bike, but for one reason or another I never got one. When this Czar came out, it had all the right numbers so I just had to finally give it a try. I've been a staunch supporter of 24" street trials, but I have to say that this one is now my favorite bike. It makes so many things easier, except for some static moves where the 24s are still more maneuverable. There are very few things I would change about this bike and I don't understand why they aren't more widely available.

Crochet neurons that I've made for the "Knit a Neuron" project. They're my first ever bit of crochet!
Managed to get a good deal on this frame so I built it up with my old Arcade parts. Echo has a real winner with this bike. It has the proper head angle, it has a tapered steerer and a 15mm thru axle. There are a few small changes I'd make, but overall the bike feels great and it's the only 24" that I like more than my Iron.
The Cold Spring Arch Bridge on Highway 154 is just about 16 miles (25 km) northwest of downtown Santa Barbara, CA. The highway crosses San Marcos Pass in the Santa Ynez Mountains on its way between the coastal Santa Barbara area and the inland Santa Ynez Valley. My vantage point is along Stagecoach Road seen here winding down underneath the bridge. Thunderclouds are hovering above the distant San Rafael Mountains.
Note 1: Map location is from my vantage point, not the bridge itself.
Note 2: My photo, above, was used in an episode of Nina and the Neurons, episode title, How Do We Build Bridges?, aired on BBC television in early 2013.

simply an orange in hdr through a reverse len. it reminds me a "neuron cell" image on my biology childlike book.
I was hoping to have more awesome photos of rat brain cells to share with y'all today. The cells look good, but I had trouble focusing the camera today. Note to self: wear contacts, not glasses, on days when you'll be playing with the microscope. Here's the least blurry one from today's batch.
A neuron is an electrically excitable cell that processes and transmits information by electrochemical signaling, via connections with other cells called synapses. Neurons are the core components of nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral ganglia. Transplanting fetal neurons into the brains of young mice opens a new window on neural plasticity, or flexibility in the brain’s neural circuits. The research, published today in the journal Science, suggests that the brain’s ability to radically adapt to new situations might not be permanently lost in youth, and helps to pinpoint the factors needed to reintroduce this plasticity.
