My work with anatomical forms continues, they have inspired some unusual images that strongly appeal to me as an artist and have produced a great deal of positive comments over the beginning of this year from my followers. This is my latest collage, which at this time remains without a title.

Defining a line within my work is not just an arbitrary decision, it has to be correct or the final result becomes inferior and the work will not see the light of day. I have been working with lines all week in my journal and the element has not been easy to work with.

Thank you to the artist Alessandro of http://www.pachinkostudio.com for the comment on my Instagram account which has now formed the title of this post “Aura for the brain” . With the focus of my work based on the imaginative process of the brain and how I see these molecules of emotion Alessandro read the work correctly and that makes me very happy.
The daily journal work continues on Instagram, which has proven to be a successful venue for placing my ideas out there. Here are a few more that may well progress on to finished works later this year. My Instagram address is at sculptureuk_org

We all know about colourful emotions, and these drawings represent a few which I have done this passed couple of days. My future pieces will be even more elaborate with such paintings being completed in chrome and old victorian gold. I will look forward to showing those…after my new studio is up and running.
Whilst making these drawings in my journal I was thinking about how we experience the act of disseminating emotions throughout the body. Is it purely chemical? Or electrical?Or a combination of the two, or is there a more elaborate system that centres within the brain that causes the virtual experience which we act upon.

I have expressed the means of mobility as these unknown elements move about delivering their messages to ourselves and depending on their strength the outward signs we display to the felt emotion.

The experimentation continues into my practice, using the response of my fans on Instagram to get a general feel as to the direction my work should take. Even when the work appears bipolar, the response is mixed for either my freehand work ~v~ using geometry instruments.
Molecule of Emotion
Or abstract ~v~ figurative, it just depends on the individual person as to which connection occurs between the viewer and the painting. Therefore less about my feelings for the work after it is finished, I just need to put it out there for the right viewer to find it. So my next post I will produce a series of like works and continue in concentrating on the process of completing work.
Innermost
It has been an interesting few weeks looking back at my molecules of emotion period which for the last three years had given way to new directions and experimentation with my art work, even to re-furnishing this website.
Though I must say I find the greatest strength when working the title molecules of emotion into my practice. Here is a reminder of three pieces taken from my research journal.
None of these mixed media abstract paintings have been titled, each made from ink on tissue paper, collaged together with an acrylic paint wash.
There is an autonomy about the work, the emotions taking control over the direction and the final result each painting will become.
It has been an interesting journey over the past four years, starting an art career from scratch is daunting to say the least, and to squeeze in a Fine art degree was awesome in itself though I know I have moved away from my original focus. Having therefore given myself some time to re-think I have decided to return to the beginning, with a term I coined as my molecules of emotion.
The way the cognitive processes are acting on my work can be seen in my earlier blog posts, and combining that with my earlier scientific career I shall build on the foundation I started in 2011.
I have produced a couple of images in my sketch book to get the ball rolling so to speak.
