Printed Pictures: Mind

Continuing my quest to make intangible illustration I began to think about how the mind could be visualised during stressful moments. I initially thought of how Valerie Pirson portrayed the mind in her Pistache animation as seen here. I wanted to create something similar to this so set about illustrating a brain with intangible bursts that would hopefully convey stress.

More needs to be done to the image but I finally feel that I've found an intangible motif that I want to progress further with. Also, when animated in a .gif sequence the separate images look pretty neat.

I feel that perhaps having just a mind doesn't create enough of a narrative and am toying with the idea of having a separate sequence of images on the opposing pages to help resolve this issue.
