While photographer Adam Voorhes was on a photo assignment, he stumbled across 700 glass jars with rare, damaged, and malformed brains in the bowels of the University of Texas Mental Hospital. The fascinating 60-year-old brains preserved in formaldehyde inspired Voorhes’s new book called ‘Malformed: Forgotten Brains of the Texas State Mental Hospital.’
The book documents 100 of these brains in glass jars highlighting the odd shapes, colors, and textures forgotten, but preserved. Voorhes has sparked a new interest in the specimens and The University of Texas at Austin is developing plans to begin MRI scans.
