The large water triptych adds a whole window to any environment and becomes a central meditative point. The cyanotypes* are printed on heavy 140lb handmade Arches watercolor paper. These prints will come as shown unframed and you can see the white photographic framing boarder. When we frame these pieces we like to bring it up to the edge of the art and it really takes you in the piece vs. looking at a photo. We leave this option up to you. You can look at how it looks framed. Ask us for framing if you want this piece framed up--pricing is for artwork only. Each panel measures approximately 32" x 50" . Below is a small blurb of the cyanotype process:

The cyanotype process was developed by scientist and astronomer John
Herschel in 1842. The process was created only three years after
photography was invented. This process instead of using silver like
typical photography uses iron. The iron ‘salt’ solutions are combined
and coated on watercolor paper in a dark room and allowed to dry. When
a negative or plant material is placed on the paper it becomes a film
negative. The uncovered areas are exposed to UV light and cause a
reaction to the iron solution reducing it chemically to a deep
Prussian blue. The print is then washed and the covered dark areas on
the negative create the white and the exposed become deep blue. It is
a simple and natural process.

Striking contrast and perfectly matched to the medium. Everest is printed on heavy 140 lb French Arches watercolor paper measuring approximately 33" x 51". The paper is made using the cyanotype method and each sheet has the solution hand applied, exposed, washed and press. This is a large hand printed photograph on watercolor paper.  Let us know if you would like a framing option for this piece. Below is a detailed explanation of the process:

Vintage crown array neurological device used to identify areas in the brain for removal. Usually this process is performed on patients with severe epilepsy. This device is shown along with the neurosearch panel. The cable running into the piece corresponds with the electrodes on the crown. The last few photo sets show the device in use on a few patients.

I started researching artificial heart devices many years ago. If some of you remember I was relentlessly pursuing the Jarvik-7. Much of what interest me is the deceptively simple yet complex design of these machines. The valves are specially designed to intake blood and drive it out without any failure or reverse flow on the system. A bladder driver filling up precisely and simulating the heart is an amazing achievement  of science and art. This display is a custom built lab type stand that holds the heart and vessel in close proximity. The mounted pump powers the heart cycle in an endless loop. This simple gesture is a gift that saves a life. The pump eerily mimics human breath as is flows in and out. A rather meditative reflection of life, death and evolution.

A home electroshock therapy unit The Sinustat could help with many ailments. The unit includes other attachment bits and also the main paddles for shocking the individual. Piece is rather old but plugs in a wall outlet and dosage can be easily controlled by the primitive dial. I wouldn't try it on someone but makes a good historical collectible for those interested in shock therapy units and their evolution.

Unique aluminum dental manikins are used for procedure study and the face simulates the presence of the patient. The teeth are then handed in and graded based on specific procedures the dental student has to do. Manikin head has a fixed set of aluminum teeth. Dental manikins have a soft aluminum finish but can also be polished up to mirror finish if you wanted to. The teeth are released via a thumb screw. . All manikins are pole mountable and come with a display stand. Sold individually—1 in stock.

Vintage dental manikin comes with a solid aluminum dental teeth set. The head can accept a rubber dental shroud to simulate the human head with more realistic detail (listed separately). The metal head and teeth set look striking on their own mounted on a metal display stand. Comes as pictured.

Aluminal gums with an array of dental teeth procedures. Some teeth have gold fillings and others have prep work for fillings. Some teeth are aluminum and the front teeth are stainless steel capped teeth. All teeth can be removed for assessment and replacement and are set with tiny set screws and others with bottom screws . A very unique device that is also an excellent piece of sculpture. Teeth size is about an average human mouth size.

A modern Placidos disc the occulus is a machine that maps the typography of the cornea. This machine when paired with a camera becomes a maping machine. Unit lights up to let the eye focus on its center camera. Quite mesmerizing and meditative we opt to use it a hypnotic lamp / art centerpiece. Measures: 16" L x 20" H with a diameter of 13" 

Striking design that can be more of a desk lamp inspiration than a head lamp. This surgical light is mounted on a nice supple leather strap and works excellent as a directional light source. The cord plugs into wall and functions beautifully. Comes in the original medical green box with a few stains of time on it.

Skull model is also available on site--listed individually

Very rare and highly sought after Dentiscope Surgical lamp dates from 1915. These lamps were very special and expensive back in the day and replaced the gas type lamps. Lamp has a magnifying fixed focal beam that comes from a small bulb inside and passes through two focal lenses. Takes standard type bulbs but of the shorter type (shown with 25w bulb). The lamp turns on and off in the back of unit and the wiring and bracket have been adapted to the body. The stand is an articulating stand 1920’s from Chysytler Manufacturing plant (has nice hand script on side noting that) .  The shade is in great shape and no cracks on the main body just typical tiny chips on end of glass that are typical with age and are hidden inside holders. Main Lamp body is 14" with 6" at its widest point.
