Magic Forest (2002 ) was made for the exhibition Head On (2002) at the Science Museum, London which focused on neurology and the brain. The work was produced in collaboration with the Wellcome Trust. The final work is a dream-like journey through a sea of developing neurones, expanding and expanding in number.
