Lobster Spirits

Patrick Cruz artwork
Patrick Cruz, a visiting artist, explores the metaphor-ripe lobster, tracing its history from fish bait to haute cuisine. "Supposedly, the stoic crustacean cannot process pain due to the absence of cerebral cortex. In addition to this strange biological phenomenon, its brain is located in its throat, nervous system in its abdomen, teeth in its stomach and kidneys in its head. It listens with its legs and tastes with its toes," Cruz's artist's statement adds.
