Work Maebh and Shoe Maebh
These images are watercolour and ink on paper and acetate. The brain images are from an MRI scan of my wife Maebh's brain which she kindly underwent in the name of art! For the black and white image, an MRI image printed onto paper is combined with a watercolour drawing of her face and layered with a further MRI image on acetate. The red image consists of a watercolour 'colour map' of the MRI image, overlain with a profile of Maebh's face in red ink on acetate. The black and white image "Work Maebh' and the red image "Shoe Maebh' reflect the two sides of my wife’s personality (serious/analytic versus playful/fun).
