i see noone else has anything to say about this either lol

Would that the egg-donor and “Uncle Stupidhead” would decompose!!

If she wants edgy, she should use Mayochup.

My late friend was an artist. He told me that he had done a painting that was made from condoms and had put it in a show. When he went by his painting a few days into the show, somebody had spit on the glass.

“At first I was mad,” he said, “but then I realized that it was a pretty insighftul comment.”

I got a jar of mayo from the clearance isle that is orange. That’s edgie!

If you want edgy, try Marmite!

A classic example of how some “geniuses” crash and burn the moment they had a bit of success.

“Jenkins, what do you think of my headline for tomorrow’s Paper?”

[“Today, at the Art Show, numerous people were sickened by a display that went bad.”]

“Um, sir, I don’t think ‘went’ is quite correct.”

“You’re right, it was bad before it went bad…”

Picasso had a Miracle Whip Period.

Ick.

So, my question is, why would she have coated the broken crockery with plaster? Some adhesive was likely used to stick the pieces to the surface. So is the “Plaster vs Mayo” a grout choice? I’m no genius, just trying to understand the process.

I wonder how she embraced the NFT fad.

Ah, yes, this was the heyday of “edgy” artists like Damien Hirst.

Broken crockery isn’t edgy; broken bones might be. Symbolizing the downfall of civilization

Face it JJ you are in a rut, you were using the broken crockery shtick when you were still with Mike. Time for a new medium of expression.

Then a final coating of art-speak if you really want that ephemeral look.

Avocado would be just as edgy, but it tastes too good to waste on art.

So now she’s getting her edgy on using mayo?

or Baconnaise, which really exists, bacon-flavored mayo.

(peruses comments)

I’m not sure some of these condiments had been invented yet.

Wilbur Westin will buy it. And then eat it.

I worked at a commercial photo lab in the ‘90s in Houston, and we often made slide dupes of artwork appearing in local galleries. One artist’s work intrigued me, as I made 50 copies each of her “statues” without any context. Her “statues” appeared to be of various abstract animal forms, with features smoothed out and beige colored, dressed in thin, cheap lingerie and plastic costume jewelery. It was more interesting than some of the literal trash some were exhibiting… Until I read an article in the local arts & music paper. Those “statues” were just premade taxidermy. She just tossed some cheap fluffery on somethings she ordered in a catalog. At least the trash artist found his own trash.

Like her marriage!

Go to county fairs and study “butter sculpture”
