This image has been created by using two different cast silhouette profiles of Cajal's death mask. I cast shadows of the original mold of his death mask on paper. Then I juxtaposed those images by referencing the original source of one of Cajal's regenerative neuron drawings and two symbolically invented Don Quixotes.

This image portrays the branches of the pyramidal neurons juxtaposed with an image depicting self-reflection near the end of his life. Cajal describes in his last biography, written at the age of eighty, his fears of neurological deterioration and his self-awareness of it in old age.

I created this drawing through referencing Cajal's original Retina drawing when it was on display at the John Porter Neuroscience Research Center at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD.

This work was created by referencing a photo in the archives at the Legado de Cajal, Instituto Cajal, Madrid, Spain. Cajal took the images however, they were not printed in juxtaposition by Cajal. The photographic paper that they are printed on was not produced until the 1940s - ten years after he died.

Above are works from my Cajal Inventory. The forty-five drawings are 11" x 14" each and created through a combination of the following materials: graphite, ink, pen, marker, and acrylic.

Curated by Senior Research Jeff Diamond, this exhibition opened in 2015. It is considered a "living exhibition" in that the drawings are changed annually. On display with Cajal's drawings are installation works by sculptor Rebecca Kamen and my paintings and drawings.

This drawing was created during the collaborative symposium between the NIH & the Instituto Cajal held in May of 2017 at the Instituto Cajal, Madrid, Spain. I documented several of the presentations through drawing.
