Helen Chadwick: An art work that is both fascinating in its content (a human brain) and at the same time to some repulsive. / by Mark Edwards

Image Self Portrait 1991. Is from the ‘Meat Lamps” series of works. I see several layers of content being played out here. A fine example of a staged photographic image made for us to enquire about the brain. The coupling of holding a human brain so delicately. A scientific representation. An for me the most significant, how do we perceive our body our brain our inner thoughts. As my on going project seeks to uncover meaning to the felt human body, this representation i feel is an excellent example of an inquiring mind.
