Commissioned by the Multiple Sclerosis Society's Alabama-Mississippi
chapter, Alabama-Mississippi Chapter Legacy
of Leadership honoring M. Miller Gorrie.
The sculpture is an abstraction of the
central nervous system (CNS), an exploration and translation of scientific
information into art. A study of form and space becomes an independent force, a living
entity in the three dimensional space of the atrium
Based on relationships between
different cells in the brain, including neurons, the primary communicative
cells of the CNS, and the myelinating glial cells that cover the nerve fibers.
The light moving within the
translucent abaca forms creates linear rhythms suggesting nerve impulses. When
the light stops, it refers to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in which the myelin
and nerve are damaged.
