Artist: Matthew
Matthew is the eldest of my two brothers. When I went to live with him for my final practicum, I decided to bring with me as little as possible. I left my computer at home, along with most of the odds and ends that usually follow me around. I only brought clothing, some science fiction stories, and of course, my pastels. When I brought out my pastel drawings to show Matthew and his wife Faria (I usually leave “law” out of “sister in law” when I refer to Faria, as “sister in law” sounds far too technical), Matthew immediately wanted to draw his own pastel drawing.
Now you probably don’t know Matthew, so I should first say a few things about him. He’s definitely smarter and more creative than me. That sounds sad [for me], but it really isn’t as he’s on my side (that is, if there’s ever an intergalactic war of the families, I’ll be on a pretty good team). He currently is a writer, which means it probably causes him considerable pain to read the many errors that I make in writing my blogs (I’m not going to pretend my blogs aren’t full of errors as many people have already given me lessons on the usage of English after reading some of my posts).
Anyway, I’m pretty sure that when Matthew put pastel to paper, he hadn’t an idea what would come of it. The impressive thing is that something did come of it.
The picture is of two headless men assembling a Mr. Potato Head. During the constructive of the potato’s face, the two figures wonder whether the potato knows that he is constructed by them.
If you think a little deeper, this picture says a lot more, but I will leave it to you to make your own interpretation of the picture.
