Quote:"T.E. Lawrence holding his hand over a candle flame until the flesh starts to sizzle."
(Ackerman,a natural history of the senses, pg.101)
Artist statement: When I was young i burned my hand severely on my sisters blow dryer. 
I don't recall hearing my hand but the color drastically changed. I decided to test this action out, I used a lighter I had and tried to hold my hand over it for as long as possible. After a few trials I was able to 
withstand the heat longer but my skin never sizzled. This test help me get a better understanding of the
pain that Lawrence must have felt.
