GAIL WIGHT
This was one of the artists from our presentations
I found her very interesting as she was like a scientific artist.
She dealt with subjects like chemistry and biology.
One of her works which interested me the most was solar burn
There was a experiment carried out in 1948 where P.N Witt gave substances to spiders. These substances included Bezedrine , caffeine, chloral hydrate, lsd, marijuana ,mescaline.
she made drawings of the spiders webs after being administrated with these drugs.
It was interested to see how each drug had a different effect on the spiders.
the lsd apears tobe the one with the most detail . below.
the marijuana web was scattered an allover the place. likewise with the caffiene none below.
