Artist Laurie Frick uses pattern, words, and color found in bits of paper to create collages that replicate the feel of neurons firing in a person’s brain. The point is, there’s a fine line between art and science.

“I imagine the brain breaks down visual time into bits where the novel and odd are as essential to recollection as the intensely emotional. Vaguely familiar cut-up materials stand-in for everything you stumble across in a day, the amount you see and forget and the things you give only partial-attention. How much does the brain take in every day, every logo and advertisment online, every storefront you pass by, the packaging along every aisle in the grocery store, every ad on television.”
