(sensory stim brain): When you touch the textured representation of my MRI, my brain representation touches you through the nerves in your fingers.---You can touch it.This project is modelled directly off a projection of my MRI.It’s a representation of my sensory profile. Using found objects from my everyday environments. I invite you to explore responding to textures I like.You can build you own sensory profile by documenting what bits you like and don’t like to touch - furry, rough, smooth, abrasive. Please feel my metaphorical brain.I haven’t lost my marbles... I’ve glued them on here.It was strange to be formally diagnosed with “sensory issues”. Finding out that my senses are heightened compared to non-autistic community (That is 98% of the population that surrounds me).I don’t know what sensations people will experience through touching this sculpture (Autistic people are 2% of the population). Many Autistic people will have a different sensory profile than me.After seeing the Sublime Stim film, Prue Stevenson said something like “your preference is for ‘wet’, I prefer dry”.Concept & Artwork: MishkaTextural Selection Artists: Mishka & Mish SzekelyhidiContributors: Aarti Jadu, Evelyn Ida Morris, Alyssia Resin Surace, Ania Dylag, Stella Schiftan, Bart Mangan, Sarah Rowbottam, Artemis Derlanea Muñoz.
