the pumpkin guy
He sits in a small musty room behind the exhibit that smells like sweat and despiration. We talk for five minutes and I feel held hostage, despite the fact that he’s very nice. The right side of his face is slightly limp, like that of a stroke victim and his watermelon carving of frida kahlo (dedicated to her final painting of a watermelon) is particularly inspired.
I wonder what it must be like to create work that most people think of as compleletly ornamental.
Maybe it’s the same for all art.
