DDC classification: CIT Art Collection Online resources: ARTWORK Summary: "My work is heavily influenced by scientific discussion about the connections between learning activity and the development of the brain. Research over the past years has shown that certain regions of the adult brain can generate new neurons and new synapses. Therefore adults can keep growing their brain and protect cognitive functioning as they age, while reduced cognitive function can age us prematurely and reduce life expectancy. My work to date is based on the analysis of personal data obtained by self-tracking and recording selected study activities and time spent on each of them. The chosen learning activities are indicated using different colours. The work explores cognitive development during the learning process. I am expressing this concept through the medium of print. I hope to create a greater understanding of how learning can develop new connections between neurons, which help offset brain cell loss due to aging or disease" - artist's statement.
