the ultimate valentine’s day gift

check out david foox’s AWESOME valentine’s themed painting of his heart (hand mixed acrylic), on top of an x-ray of his own chest.

this piece is limited to a very small number of pieces because of the amount of radiation his body has been subjected to in the past year. “i hope i don’t get sick and need any more x-rays, according to my doctor, i am not allowed any more radiation”, says FOOX.

each piece comes framed in a backlit box and exudes a very spooky and personal quality about it. “imagine having your very own heart painted on top of an x-ray of your body,” continues FOOX in talking about his work.

you can view more of FOOX’s work at his website FOOX-U.com

PS: FOOX reports that as soon as he is able to withstand more radiation, he will do a 4th of july series of 8 back x-rays with the spine painted. “america needs a little back bone right about now,” says FOOX.

"The human liver is a boss-looking organ. It’s glossy, aerodynamic, Olympian. It looks like sculpture, not guts. I’ve been marveling at H’s liver, currently being prepped for its upcoming journey. The organs around it are amorphous and unappealing. Stomachs are flappy, indistinct; intestines, chaotic and soupy. Kidneys skulk under bundles of fat. But the liver gleams. It looks engineered and carefully wrought. Its flanks have a subtle curve, like the horizon seen from space. If I were an ancient Babylonian, I guess I might think God splashed down here too."

"‘Theresa?’ She is distributing dissection guides to the tables, humming quietly as she works.
‘Mm?’
‘Who cuts off the heads?’
Theresa answers that the heads are sawed off in the room across the hall, by a woman named Yvonne. I wonder out loud whether this particular aspect of Yvonne’s job bothers her. Likewise Theresa. It was Theresa who brought the heads in and set them up on their little stands. I ask her about this.
‘What I do is, I think of them as wax.’
[…]
No one pays much attention to me, except for a small, dark-haired woman, who stands off to the side, staring at me. She doesn’t look as if she wants to be my friend. I decide to think of her as wax."
