Electricity Vol. 1 (rough cut) by Sylvia Toy

 


Artist's Statement
"The series nanomovies exploring brain electricity, admittedly and undoubtedly will take poetic liberties with the science of the brain. However, having had an auditory hallucination named Susan as a lifetime companion, having grown up juggling mania and depression, I follow the rule for people who want to write the great American novel or Pulitzer prize-winning play: 'write what you know.' Who says a jpg of a star going nova can't be used as metaphor for rapid cycling? Who says a jpg of a circuit board doesn't look like a map of the pinging back and forth of a thought you can barely hold onto in the middle of the night when you're so manic it feels like high noon (or a star going nova) inside your head.
