Cover legend: Cover artwork by Elizabeth Jameson. Face-Off, MRI of the Artist's Brain, is based on an MRI of Elizabeth Jameson's brain. It is a part of a series of etchings that are portraits that express the mystery of the brain revealed through MRI images and angiograms. Digital brain scans became a part of the artist's life when she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. As her stack of MRIs grew, so did her fascination with the brain as well as the eerie MRIs. They were frightening, yet mesmerizing. The resulting art came from her desire to reinterpret these images, using them to explore the wonder and the complexity of the brain.
