40 Days of Lent: Day Fifteen

Our Wonderful Bodies!







The above images come from a schoolroom biology presentation on rollers that hangs next to my computer. I have no idea what parts of the body are supposed to be depicted, but it looks like biological functions as drawn by Bosch. I bought it a few years ago from a second hand store on Houston Street. I had seen it, loved it, but then proceeded to some art galleries in Soho and Chelsea. When I realized that nothing in the galleries was as fascinating as this biological presentation, I worried that I had missed my chance and couldn't get back to the shop fast enough.

I think that top one is my left eye...

I guess it's supposed to be a cell. What I like is that odd puddle of water at the bottom.

Salvador Dali teaches biology.
