I went to an art fair and bemoaned to a colleague that "I could have done that piece.." in relation to a large visual matrix, made of a series of burned pieces of toast, creating the overall impression of a brain.
I wasn't bemoaning it in the sense my father might - "That's shit, a five year old boy could've done that", rather "fuck, people will pay how many thousands of pounds for this? I could do this!"
So, when I came home I tried something that had been nagging at me for a while - I made a pseudo-political (as in teenager) image and burned it in to a series of matzos, arrayed in a matrix.
Trouble is, hours later I found myself hungry and so ate all 9 dry, recently be-arted matzos in one sitting, heartily washed down with In-Bru.
So, to my point - the reason this kind of art fails for me? I'm a consumer - kinda like Horp, I'd want to oik the Dell out and try and get it to run Linux, and utterly shit on the mystery.
I couldn't do that with something painted, in a frame.
Actually, I lied, I have no point - I'm only recently up and rambling to fuck.
ho hum.
