    Aletheia: the unconcealedness of what-is present
    (1995) Mallon, Darci
    This exhibition, Aletheia: the unconcealedness of What-is present, comprised two ink fingerprint drawings, one entitled Phosphenes and the other entitled, The Braille Pot. These works reflected a study on forms of blindness; blindness in the phenomenological sense as understood through philosophy and as well, as a consequence of the functioning of the brain and retinal system.

    Beak Disorder: a sound and sculpture installation
    (2018) Sharpe, Leslie
    This paper discusses Leslie Sharpe's sound and sculpture installation project "Beak Disorder," exhibited at Manizales, Columbia for Balance-Unbalance 2016. The work addresses how anthropogenic climate change may be affecting birds in the Pacific Northwest regions of Canada and the United States. "Beak Disorder" is a project that references an unexplained condition documented in birds in the Northwest of Canada and Alaska called "avian keratin disorder" where the bird's beak becomes distorted and elongated. The work includes a series of 3D printed distorted beaks as well as a sound piece and web component.

    Dementia
    (1995) Mallon, Darci
    The title of the exhibition, ENGRAMS, refers to traces of neural synapses considered evidence of memory formation. The titles and gestures of each of the three inked fingerprint drawing installations represents an American Sign Language concept for a state of memory: Eidetic (visual memory), Fovea (to memorize), Dementia, (to forget). Mylar, lights, ink, and steel, 16 feet x14 feet.

    Golgi studies
    (2001) Mallon, Darci
    The Golgi Studies comprised a series of images of slices of the brain, drawn by burning into oak wood veneer. In the process of drawing the brain sections and articulating their form, the wood grain was revealed through the hardness and softness of the veneer, hence the drawing process could be considered a metaphor for the nature/nurture dynamic and brain plasticity. The small burn marks resembled that of the brown neurons revealed in the slides produced by Camilo Golgi, the neuroanatomist who discovered how to stain and render visible, a complete neuron. The center of each image was sanded through the veneer to expose the underlying particleboard, suggesting a scotoma or blind spot. Each image was framed with an ornate frame that had a scallop/kidney-shaped form common within the brain.

    Inter nos, inter se
    (1985) Mallon, Darci
    This installation was comprised of five oil-painted panels mounted on tables. Each table had an audio loop recording of the individual’s monologue. The removable masks, made of chrome-plated plexiglass, had eye holes through which the viewer could study the ‘other’. The work reflected on the complexity of communication within our ‘inner mind’, as well as, between us and ‘outsiders’.
