The Feeling Bubble

"The bubble is our skin. But the skin is also alive, breathing and excreting, shielding us from harmful rays and microbial attack, metabolizing vitamin D, insulating us from heat and cold, repairing itself when necessary, regulating blood flow, acting as a frame for our sense of touch, aiding us in sexual attraction, defining our individuality, holding all the thick red jams and jellies inside us where they belong." -Diane Ackerman

Statement:

The drawing reflects upon the idea that the body serves as a malleable shield, protecting the body and everything in it from the chaos surrounding it. Such chaos can bring harm to the body or cause it to collapse.

The Code Senders

"Thick, onion-shaped sensors, they tell the brain what is pressing and also about the movement of joints or how the organs may be shifting their position when we move." -Diane Ackerman

Statement:

With this drawing I was thinking how touch is heavily associated with touch receptors and nerves which all correlated back to the brain to provide the sensation and information on touch.
