2011 – Through The Corpus Callosum
‘Through The Corpus Callosum’ – The corpus callosum connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain. The right hemisphere is rumoured to be the more creative side and therefore the side where all the colours, rhythms, patterns and shapes of the imagination lie. This is the side I like to inhabit!
