Re-Connection

Dementia Therapy

I got a call from Catherine at The New York Times requesting concept sketches for a piece in their science section on cognitive rehabilitation, about how dementia therapy is helping patients. As is usual with newspaper work this was something of a rush job, so I had a day for conceptualising and a day for finished art. Always a bit nerve-wracking, as ideas can be elusive, but fortunately, at the 11th hour, the idea of re-connecting strands was much liked. It was then a question of balancing the tones and colours for the finished artwork.
