 Corridor A wide print, like a strip of film. The upper section is a series of brightly coloured images, accompanied across the bottom by a strip of black, containing a thin white line - an EEG wave. 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
