The series of images begins with a red narrow corridor, and frame by frame it distorts and changes colour, becoming a jewel like turquoise colour. In the first frame there is a round window in a door at the end of the corridor, this transforms into a cross like symbol by the final image. The wave at the bottom of the print is an EEG reading showing activity in the artist’s brain, mounting in intensity as the image distortsIctal

Gus Cummins
18 September - 31 October 2009

Gus Cummins makes art that is informed by his epilepsy. He developed epilepsy at the beginning of the ‘90s, around the same time as he began studying at Art College. It wasn’t until 2007 that he began directly creating work about the condition. He was being assessed for brain surgery, and was often surrounded by brain scans, electrodes and medical data. He utilized this data to create his art.
