What are the odds that this is the signature of the graffitti artist? What is the significance of the bandaged, stitched, elongated neck? Does it suggest being wounded from having stuck one's neck out? And what's with the red claw? More lobster symbolism??
Bizarre stuff, am going to have to think about this one for a while...
ReplyDeleteI saw vertebrae rather than bandages and thought of the need for a strong internal structure in order to hold one’s head high. The red claw? Perhaps the mind at 4 in the morning.
ReplyDeleteOwen: perhaps a little more of that circus Kool-Aid will enhance your ponderings.
ReplyDeleteDw&T: You're right about needing strong bones to hold up that long neck and fortitude to maintain one's pride. "4 a.m. Mind" as a red claw, yes--a wonderful metaphor...snatching away one's sleep and equanamity with thoughts that scratch and pinch. This concept reinforces my idea of the need for bandages.
Dw&T: PS--or maybe s/he was just making a call with the Dali phone from your last blog posting!
