Might do it again next year 🥰
An image of an old engraving of a vagus nerve is printed on sulky material and basted to green cotton. The head and neck are in a medium sized wooden embroidery hoop. All the embroidery of the main nerve lines has been done in blue chain stitch in perlé cotton. The brain and some of the face is stitched in the same thread in backstitch. Some details are stitched in single strand floss. A needle minder in the shape of an hourglass that reads, "This is taking forever," sits near the stitches holding a needle.
For the final day of #VirtualArtOfNeuro and #WIPwednesday, here is my current #embroidery in progress, a #VagusNerve. #SciArt 🧶🩺🧪🐡
My linocut print on 11” x 14” cream coloured washi paper of Hendrik van der Loos in blue ink with diagrams of a mouse head and barrel cortex. The line drawing style mouse head is in a raspberry red and includes the shape of its brain and dots representing the barrel cortex. Like van der Loos it is at 3/4 and placed so that its eyes are at his eye-line. Its whiskers lead to a array of spots on its snout in a gradient of blue to red with a green strip, to match the barrel cortex diagram above. The barrel cortex above van der Loos’ head looks like five rows of obloid shapes in a gradient of red to blue with a final offset top column in green.
Another scientist for #VirtualArtOfNeuro - here is neuroscientist Hendrik Van der Loos (1929-1993) shown in my print with his discovery (along with medical student Thomas Woolsey), of the barrel cortex, along with the mouse head & whiskers linked directly to it. 🐡🧪#histsci

Sensorium (2016) In the centre of some bone white linen, there is a spine embroidery in thick satin stitch. Emanating from the spine are thick burgundy lines in an undulant oval shape. This oval is bisected across the middle. In the top half, there is a section outlined in burgundy filled with coiling blue lines and a similar section in the bottom half. The rest of the undulant oval is filled with fine coiling burgundy lines. The spine is very straight, the rest of the embroidery is very coiled and busy. Lia’s initials are stitched in fine thread the same colour as the cloth at the bottom right.
For day 3 of #VirtualArtOfNeuro, my #symptomatology #embroidery sensorium (2016) illustrates the hypersensitivity of my neurology since the onset of #MECFS. #SciArt 🧶🩺🧪🐡
My linocut portrait of Cajal in a gradient of gold (left, where there is a table and microscope) to blue (right, where he is) . Behind him is an image based on his drawing of a Purkinje and granule cell of a pigeon in a gradient of gold to black.
I thought I would share my portrait of neurologist Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852 - 1934) for #VirtualArtOfNeuro. 🐡🧪 #histsci It shows him as a young man in front of Purkinje and granule cells from a pigeon, based on one of his own drawings. Cajal with Camillo Golgi won the Nobel Prize in …. 🧵1/2

This is amazing work.
It’s like I can feel the symptoms jumping out at me from the image. Although I can’t entirely explain what I mean.

Body Map (2016) An outline of a naked woman is embroidered on linen in the same bone white colour as the linen. She stands legs together, her right hand covering her groin, her left hand, palm up, extended slightly to her side. She looks to the right. Her entire body except for her belly is covered in intricate markings representing different neurological sensations. Her face is a mask of green lines, feathery grey lines cover her shoulders and chest. There is a thick band of intricate burgundy stitching around her waist. Her forearms and hands are covered in thick blue undulant lines. Her right leg has bands of burgundy along the muscles, with small dots around them. Her inner left leg has a thick line of blue running up it, with thin branches spreading towards her outer leg.
For day 2 of #VirtualArtOfNeuro, my #symptomatology #embroidery body map (2016) was stitched while I experienced and visualized my many neuroimmune symptoms of #MECFS. #SciArt 🩺🧪🐡🧶

digital illustration in greyscales and bright reds. A bald, solid white human from the chest up, behind a wall of grey coral-like shapes similar to sea worm cluster housings. The human is looking up, and their eye sockets have been stretched and widened as they are filled with numerous tiny clustered eyeballs. Black, thick fluid drips and pours out of the human's closed mouth. Bright red neuron-like or vein-like growths come out of many of the tiny eye pupils and the mouth to spread over the human's face, head, and neck, and out into the air above and in front of the human.

she was tributaries (2016) An embroidery on bone white linen. There are many coral-like neurons in the vague shape of a brain embroidered in shades of blue. The bottom section is navy blue and transitions to a lighter blue at the top. The text at the bottom reads: she was tributaries, all electric.
For day 1 of #VirtualArtOfNeuro here is my most brainlike piece, she was tributaries (2016). The neurons are based on a drawing by Ramón y Cajal, and the piece evokes the electricity I feel when I have brain fog. #MECFS #SciArt #symptomatology #embroidery 🐡🧪🩺🧶
