Collage representing coronal sections of the embryonic human brain at gestational week 11 and five coronal sections of the embryonic mouse brain at gestational day 12. Sections are made out of paper, grey, and mountain paper birch bark (Betula papyrifera, B. alleghaniensis, and B. cordifolia) and mounted in a grey frame in "floating" style, pressed in place between two panes of glass allowing a dark background to be seen behind the collage.
