We Can Go Beyond It by Bridget Elmer

This book explores the theory of neuroplasticity–an assertion that the human brain is capable of changing itself. Inspired by the source imagery, generated from EEGs of her father’s brain, the artist simulates the neurological process of synaptic change. The original brain maps are dismantled and transformed. The resulting symbols and color fields are recombined into new images, new openings. The reader is invited to take the book apart, rearrange it, go beyond it. A celebration of possibility and free will, We Can Go Beyond Itrepresents our inherent ability to change and renew.
