Well, this is an intriguing picture. Is it representational? If I have to select one of the alternatives, I guess I'd have to go with B. because of those breast-like images up front -- plus it seems to convey a certain emotional aura that I imagine Wallace might associate with his mother.
pb: I thought that emotional aura was pretty unmistakable too. There is something about so many teeth, no arms and nips hanging off the bottom of those uneven circles that reminds me of me. When I asked him what he had drawn, he flushed and said a ghost explaining that was the reason for the squiggles running around the body. I just didn't have the courage to ask the obvious next question: Am I the ghost? (We never really do escape our mothers, do we?) He obviously withheld something or he wouldn't have flushed like that.
True, I don't have hair, droopy boobs, or the right "emotional aura" for Simon's drawing. But there's one thing that's unmistakably me. Sad to say, but it's almost photo realistic.
Uh, babe . . . I don't know if anyone has told you this, but this is a public forum. And, for the record, we both know you were talking about the teeth.
