Limbique, 2010 by Pinar Yoldas and David J. Paulsen, UC Berkeley

Recently I went to the Worth Ryder Gallery at Art Practice Department, University of California, Berkeley and saw a wonderful installation work by Pinar Yoldas and David J. Paulsen.

The work, made of solid composite materials, is quite fluid and has an unearthly lightness in it.  It changes forms and translucency with changing of the viewing angle and reminded me of a time capsule, skeleton of a vertebrate, or the evolution of entire universe. 

The title, Limbique, refers to limbic system, the name given to a group of structures of the brain that play a very important role in behavior and in particular, in various emotions such as aggression , the fear , the pleasure and the formation of memory.
