Hemiplegic Migraine & FND Artist

🤔Where does #neuropsychology belong when symptoms don’t fit #neurology or #psychiatry?
Dr. Nigel Lyttle explores this space through work with #FND and other complex cases.

Alie sitting at a wooden table with her body shoved into a curve of it. She is facing forward with arms like a Sphinx statue and wearing a golden yellow sweater with a neutral expression.

Ohaay, it’s the lady who hosts that Ologies podcast and finally got back into her Bsky account.

Alie Ward here, excited to see so many science friends in one place. Add me/say hi so I can gently creep on your work.

I wear this yellow sweater too much.

Have I understood this correctly? @davidlewisperez.bsky.social the concept that 1) There is 'over connection' (too many signals) in relation to movement, attention, emotion, planning & control 2) There are connections that are too tightly 'bunched' together causing confusion with planning & control.

Really love the sensation of movement in this - it reminds me of visual neurological auras (I swear that's a compliment)

Photo of a self portrait painting, experimenting with cyanotype effects. The original image is a bearded man with strong blue eyes placing a vintage microphone against his head.

In the artists studio, experimenting with cyanotype printing on top of photographs of a self portrait painting.

Encaustic wax process on a photograph of a painting. The original image is a man staring at a cracked wall from behind, sitting in a chair. The wax is cracking and adding texture.

In the studio, combining painting, photography & experimenting with cyanotype & encaustic wax - going all in on heat, texture & light - always looking for happy accidents.

Yes!!! - Quick question - in your opinion does using bee's wax make a significant difference compared to regular candle wax for Encaustic work?

Defiantly getting Basquiat vibes from the use of colour & shape here.

Experimenting with Encaustic wax - great way to add texture & depth using painting techniques.

Experimenting with liquifying photos. Photography & Chemistry are deeply linked, so why not get back to its roots?

I instantly got an ethereal, ghostly Guernica painting feeling from this.

A photograph of an art process involving chemicals affecting a photographic image, the photographic image is an abstract portrait of a woman at a 45 Degree angle gazing off into the distance with a wistful expression on her face. Several layers of chemicals are creating multiple patterns, shapes and textures design to impact the aesthetic and mood of the final image.

An overview of an artist's workstation within a studio. On the left is a sculpture of a skull with its head split open, being used as a paintbrush stand - a morbidly humorous Memento Mori - In the centre is a pack of photographs labeled "Testers" and the date 03/25 March 2025. On the right is a pair of black safety gloves, underneath is an opened 'Scientific American' magazine displaying an article on the subject of 'Leonardo Da Vinci & Neuroscience' including an anatomical sketch of a human head and brain.

Finally getting in some studio time & experimenting with totally new #altprocess #photography before I scale up.

💭What name should I give to my new half skull sidekick 💀?

Thanks so much @ravenmae.bsky.social I was hoping to catch that moment just before resistance breaks but it is too late & about to take over. So, a sort of fine line but at the beginning instead of at the end - argh! #migraineauras are so hard to put into words!

Artwork in progress, depicting the experience of migraine aura. The image shows a woman underwater, wearing a red flowing dress that turns into flames at the edges, layers of broken glass textures surround her as colourful static pattern emanates from the center outwards.

#migrainechat Do you have feedback on this depiction of #migraine aura ? - as a hemiplegic migraine sufferer myself - my aim is to capture both the experience & intensity of the feeling for a general 'neurotypical' audience & hopefully increase migraine awareness #feedbackwelcome Thanks in advance.

Work in progress artwork. A red grid, demonstrating the rule of thirds on top of the face of a woman in a quarter turn pose, the woman is staring directly at the viewer - cracks appear in the woman's face revealing parts of the chaotic background. The background is like TV static with bright colours, representing the high pitched feeling of tinnitus and migraine aura.

Work in Progress - using grids & the rule of thirds to plan for organised chaos #artyear #artshare #artprocess #photography
