A fusion of gilding, art &science: Self reflected, by Greg Dunn and Brian Edwards, April 2017

 

 

Self reflected is formed by a series of images representing a moving and luminous map of neurons in the brain. Completing this work of art took nearly two years to artist and neuroscientist Dr. Greg Dunn along with his partner Dr.Brian Edwards.

This creation is cross-disciplinary as the thin slice of the human brain that the works depict was created through a combination of hand drawing, neuroscientific data, algorithmic simulation of neural circuitry, photolithography, strategic lighting design, and gilding , using 1,750 sheets of 22k gold leaf.
