Sculpture, Pewter on Other

This work was developed as part of a public art commission proposal exploring the neuroscience of memory for a dementia ward at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. It represents the hipocampus, fornix and mamilary bodies that sit near the centre of the brain and process memory. I was struck by how the shape represents a funnel curving around from the hipocampus (the part that is enlarged in London black cab drivers) to the two hanging mamilary bodies. This funnel shape mirrors the function of memory processing, how we filter down the sensory input of an experience to the essentials that we lay down as a memory. This sculpture is cast as an edition of 20 in Pewter in the artist's studio. Each cast is initialled and has an edition number on the underside.
