Italo Scanga

Italo Scanga in the Oakland studio, 1981.
"There is a story about a shepherd who went to work in a factory that made dyes. And he turned red because of the color of the dye. So he went home and he looked at himself and he said, I'm red; something's the matter with me." So he kept scrubbing himself, scrubbing himself, scrubbing himself, until blood came out."
