“Snail Hand”, by Robert Langham
Dreamed that I was talking with an artist who was sharing his “vision” with me”. I remarked that his sketches resembled a hastily drawn snail shell with a human hand emerging from it, and he became quite irate. Though a series of charts and cross word puzzles he attempted to explain to me the idea behind the art, but unable to tap into his particular brand of genius - it quite eluded me.
