Fabric brain art
Marjorie Taylor, head of the University of Oregon's Department of Psychology, and Karen Norberg have created fabric artworks based on neuroscience and dissection. The work is exhibited at their "Museum of Scientifically Accurate Fabric Brain Art." Seen here is a cloth brain that Norberg created.
From the museum page:
Our current exhibition features three quilts with functional images from PET and fMRI scanning, and an anatomically accurate knitted brain...Link (via Kircher Society, thanks Arwen O'Reilly!)
Techniques used include quilting, applique, embroidery, beadwork, knitting, and crotcheting.
Materials include fabric, yarn, metallic threads, electronic components such as magnetic core memory, wire, zippers, and beads.
