How I See Polly - By Sally

I had felt a female presence next to me and continued looking at the art work as though I was busy trying to work out its meaning. Polly spoke, I didn’t reply at first because I thought she was talking to someone else, but she was talking to me. The gizzard in Polly’s brain instantly ruptured the clot in my toe, we were talking.
I like Polly not only because she smiles a lot, but because I felt she understood me, or was always prepared to. She made me feel like a visible network of matter. When I’m around her I do not feel uninteresting.

I got to know Polly. I was very impressed with her style. I enjoyed the way her personality didn’t mould with her artistic intentions, that such an intelligent, well-spoken individual would create prying, risky conceptual works. Polly’s curiosity was evident to me as I felt sometimes she would ask lots of questions, exploring my psyche.

When I’m silent Polly wonders what I’m thinking. Sometimes I tell her and sometimes I do not. I like the way Polly and I communicate because sometimes I don’t even have to talk, we will just laugh. Laughing is something she does very well.

Sometimes, Polly and I like to blend our mind’s ooze like juice and let the acids come over us until they burn through the beige walls. I think Polly is a powerful young lady. I think she could almost run our country. If I had to spend time with someone on a white expanse, I’d consider Polly.

How I See Sally - By Polly

I think Sally is a funny girl. I remember she made a strong impression on me the first time I met her. I was overwhelmed that someone so quiet and reserved could make art that was so weird and crazy. I wanted to approach Sally for weeks but I found it hard to think of how and what to say. When I did, we talked for a while, I admit I didn’t want to end the conversation. Sally is intriguing.

I’m so happy I had the chance to work with Sally because she has a quirky energy about her that makes her so interesting. I think it’s sad though because I think that she finds herself boring to others and I want her to know that she is totally unique.

I think Sally finds people hard to connect with sometimes, most times really. I don’t know whether it’s because she doesn’t know what to say? OR maybe she is worried? OR maybe she doesn’t care? OR maybe she is just distracted? OR maybe… other people just aren’t as interesting as she is so she gets bored of them?

Sally looks at people for a long time. Taking in every detail and trying to ‘figure them out’ I think. Sometimes she puts people off when she meets them for the first time because they don’t know how to take her. One of my friends felt like Sally was checking them out when she first met them because Sally is so intrigued by people and almost stares at them without meaning to.

I think Sally is confused with what she wants but I don’t think that’s concerning because she holds her uncertainty well. Not in an annoying way that reminds you continuously how uncomfortable she is with herself - but in a way that says she is searching for something… inspiration maybe.

Sometimes I think she needs space to be herself without ’Society’ around. I like being around Sally when I know she feels comfortable around me. I’m pretty sure she feels comfortable around me? I think Sally holds things back and is still learning to speak for herself. It’s really cool when she does speak for herself, although sometimes she has the most random thoughts. I like it because they always lead me somewhere different. She makes me feel like there is MORE to search for and I think that we work well together because I think, “I know it all”, and she makes me realise that I really don’t.

Sally is usually in agreement with me and she is supportive to what I have to offer creatively. I like exploring with Sally. I think both of us need to let ourselves go a lot more. I wonder why we restrain ourselves? Sally is very different to anyone I’ve met. In some ways she is quite similar to me and yet she is very opposite to me.

I think Sally’s brain is a very interesting place and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to follow or catch up with how she thinks. She has an amazing ability to detach herself from the world and to escape into her own imaginative world of wonder. I hope she realises that she has a strong affect on those around her and that she is not just influenced strongly by others. That its two-ways. She is a beautiful and individual being, that is totally in control and out of control at the same time, just like the first impression she made on me.
