Footnotes: Provenance Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner Note In the series Structure of Thought, Doug and Mike Starn explore interconnectedness in both the physical and metaphysical worlds. As seen in the present work, intertwined tree branches visually resemble the intricate web of neural pathways in the human brain. The artists further suggest the dense nature of consciousness by overlaying each photograph with unconventional materials, such as beeswax, encaustic, and varnish, resulting in an image that recalls the inextricable processes of human cognition.
