DescriptionOne in a series of 5:4's completed in 2014-15. My My Mind Vs Brain has deeply psychological connotations. The piece was created through an experimental process, blending of many types of media on a digital canvas, but the cornerstone subject of the image throughout its creation was the central oval figure. Its texture reveals traces of the source imagery, artist Mai-Thu Perret's casts of hair, and similarly stands in as an abstract portrait of an anonymous outgrowth. The image can be thought of as depicting the sensations of brambly neuronal activity. In particular the befuddling experience of cognitive dissonance, dissolving conceptions 'the self', and other neurotic (repetitive and obsessive) activities.CaptionAlex Fischer, My My Mind Vs Brain, 2014
