Phrenology. Hum... I definately had to look this up. This subject being the theme for this week's Sunday Postcard Art challenge ; I had no idea what it was- so learning something new was great! Phrenology is a belief that personality traits of a person can be derived from the shape of the skull. Considered a fringe or pseudo-science, believers contend that the mind has a set of different mental faculties, with each particular faculty represented in a different area of the brain (hence the numbering) . My digital collage postcard is blended with antique map images and human figure (flickr -free) with added artistic filters in Photoshop.

I had to look it up too :-) I've heard about it, just didn't remember the word. Your interpretation is great I hope to have a chance to do one also!
ReplyDeleteI love this piece and had to laugh at the subject matter this week. Phrenology has been around since the 1800s, and been debunked. Many phrenologists used to examine the bumps on a person's head to determine personality. The nice thing about this subject is, there are a lot of rubber stamp companies who have created their own "numbered" heads.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and warm this weekend.
That background is just great for the theme. Beautiful!
