Adria de Haume
COSMOS BRAIN
Adria de Haume designed an ABS plastic, electrified
brain with an outer shell painted in vivid International
Klein Blue as an homage to renowned French artist
Yves Klein, who inspired her piece. Perforated sections
reveal various views of the inner brain, painted,
collaged and paved in rhinestones, beads, crystals,
diamond dust and mixed media. The interior was
inspired by XDF photos of the cosmos assembled over
10 years from the NASA Hubble Space Telescope. A
battery-pack light strip embedded on the interior
illuminates the brain, recalling radiant galaxies.
