As it turns out the world of art to do with MRI scans is so small that my own blog has shown us as a result... however, i have done a thing.

i bought myself a Styrofoam ball to play with as an early stage of experimentation. the idea is that it can be sliced up easily to give a small idea about how things like a human head might look if it was turned and separated into stackable slices.

Easily however, it was not. I decided to use a band saw however to avoid the ball bouncing around or making the lines wonky, thus cutting pieces that were narrower at one end than the other, i had to build a frame that would support the ball without destroying it, that would keep the ball in place as i was cutting segments. What i came up with was this!

      The ball being supported in the bottom by a nail to stop it moving around when the first segment was being taken away and so on.

    
The band saw was a success thank god and the slices reminded me a lot of sliced fruit, probably because most fruit is round-ish and can be sliced. But it was a success to have a piece that had changed and become some how more uniform crisp having been sliced.
