Blue jean brain:
Artist Lee Pirozzi creates wonderful three-dimensional fabric brains and neuroanatomical structures.
The piece on the left is called 'Blue Jean Brain II'.
Pirozzi's portfolio also describes a few of the pieces like so:
...in "In Search of the Perfect Blue Jeans," denim, sequins, and satin form the textured and nuanced surfaces of the human brain, while in "Amygdala of Terror," a snakelike coil appears affixed to the brain itself.
The pieces make a lovely complement to The Museum of Scientifically Accurate Fabric Brain Art which displays the work of neuroscientists who carefully depict their favourite subject through needlecraft.
