MARTES, EL QUINCE DE DICIEMBRE, DOS MIL NUEVE
The 'galvanized' idea from yesterday's post came from the 1836 image below. After visiting Bologna in 2004 and seeing Galvani's statue there, I did a bit of research and reading on him and his frog legs experiment. Of course, there's lots of parallels with Frankenstein and I like the analogy with reinvigorating worn -out art ideas. In the case of Galvanized Hand, I was wanting to reinvigorate the use of lightbulbs with owls on them (see below). An inanimate cast of my hand, painted in a mortuary-green colour, provided a successful foil to the lightbulb
