SomethingNeuro 

This artwork is by Toba Khedoori, oil on linen, is my choice for something neuro. She creates intricate, contemplative compositions depicting façades, plants, grids, windows, and doorways, among other subjects, that appear arrested in time and space—as though existing in a liminal state. Primarily done on immense sheets of waxed paper, her work espouses a neutral language of objecthood and natural forms versus one of figurative or gestural expressivity and narrative forms.

The reason why I selected this specific work is that the intricate network of tree branches resembles the much more complex and intricate network of the nervous system in humans and this parallel between the two seems to bring both the worlds; nature and humans, into a single woven thread-like web of life. Trees and nature in general have been the center of my art practice and I more often than not find myself staring away into the meshwork of branches above my head, outside my window, or even when I’m walking past a gigantic gorgeous tree.
