there´s someone in my head....

Bedlam heartburn

A series where I try to approach the fear of insanity. I believe that this fear is collective and that we all have to face it sometime, one way or another.

Yesterday i went to the hospital and got an MR scan (Magnetic Resonance x-ray) to figure out where my headaches comes from. Got some strange and great material to work with :)

Composite MR scan and selfportrait and a rusty iron…something

Inspired by “Pink Floyd “Shine On You Crazy Diamond Syd Barrett Tribute

    Fantastic shot. Very clever composite. Did they xray your teeth at the same time. I once was getting blinding headaches, and went for a scan, nothing there, just a brain haha., shortly after I paid a visit to my dentist who xrayed my teeth, I have a third set of teeth and one of them had set off, couldn’t go anywhere and had gone up over and was pressing on my optic nerve, causing dreadful headaches in the ‘back’ of my head. Not everything is as it first appears. As for insanity. I wouldn’t worry about it, they don’t usually have headaches. hugsxxx

    hello and thanks for your comment. Maybe i should check with my dentist as well, Good idea :)

    This is really fascinating Roy.
    I have a lot of X-ray – scans of my neck and back and find it interesting to work with them too. It gives a kind of relief for the pain sometimes… Headaches can be terrible.
    This is such a strong image. I like the structures and colortones. It is warm and shoking at the same time.
    The eyes are freaky, disturbing… I think “the someone in your head” is a very creative person… I will come back to look at this one again !
    xox,

    ooooooh Roy…... I don’t know if you ‘know’... but from this image and the title it seems to me that maybe you’re getting close to being aware that having someone else in your head can of itself cause terrible headaches… That someone else wants to get ‘out’ – take over the body – and the ‘person’ who is usually ‘there’ of course doesn’t want to let them… This is a really really hard way to be Roy… if that is truly what it is… I don’t know… but that seems to me to be what you are saying with this work…

  • roy skogvold replied

    thanks for you concern my friend, The work was more of a metaphorical type, if you know what i mean :)
    Anyway headaches are better for the moment so i guess it´s some sort of migraine.

    Freaky work my friend. Someone in my head and it’s not me…...but it usually is “me”. No one walks and talks more in our heads than ourselves.

  • roy skogvold replied

    What you say is wise my friend, i agree.

    Roy .. I look at these ‘heads’ together as you have already several of them each capturing various features … I think they are very strong works together … this one has even a sort of ‘black humor’ in it – which I think that’s what you do (and that WILL keep you sane LOL ) ... as if that someone is causing those eyeballs to pop out for there is not enough space in there ….. oh dear ….
    the other one composed using the MR scan is very good – with it’s use of the lettering from the medical report – bringing out the issues about medical interventions into our lives …
    ... the ‘busy mind’ is again very well done with colour and the facial expression and the composition of those faces ‘inside’
    ..I appreciate you …

    Your work is powerful and says a lot, confronting the essential fragility of the human state.
