A site-specific drawing/maze on the floor of Ovada galllery in Oxford made from bronze-coloured vinyl. The design of the drawing based on a splicing of a diagram of a cross-section of a human brain and the architectural plan of the Marcellus Theatre in Rome which inspired Christopher Wren's design for the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford.
