PO-TAY-TOH

What do you want for dinner?  I hate saying AND hearing this phrase because it is immediately followed by the shuffling of feet and avoidance of eye contact in the attempt to draw out the silence until my husband breaks the silence and makes the decision.  It isn’t that I don’t want to think about it; clearly I think about food ALOT.  However, I find it difficult to translate the abstract notion of what I want for dinner into the concrete dish that would be.  Getting from idea that I want comfort food to identifying that as potato soup with freshly grated Romano is, well, complicated.  I wonder if abstract painters have this same dilemma.  If YOUR work is abstract, check out this next Call…
