Light, Movement and the Body

Mo Costandi makes the point in his recent article "Leaning to the Left makes the Eiffel Tower seem smaller", that the mind and body although we may have thought of them as separate entities are in fact intimitately linked as one. The mind controlls the body, so that our emotions and thoughts are "grounded in our bodily sensations and movements" . This studio based self portrait can be considered with these contemporary notions of the body moving through a pattern of light in space. So that in the context of Neurological Expressionism, light movement and space may in fact be able to produce new emotions and thoughts.

Mr Costandi [http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/neurophilosophy], goes on to remind us that movement can effect memory and that temperature can effect relationships and that our sense of touch can effect relationships. I was reminded of this recently when comparing shopping experiences. In the small town that I visited the people in the supermarket where much more likely to bump into each other. Physically touching and apologizing and beginning communication. Very different from the cold climate capital city where I live, in which a touch of trolleys is unusual.
