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.

hey mystery blogger,
thanks for your post. i agree with you and intially that's what we wanted to create.. an opportunity for people to submit their own entries of how they may see a friend/ partner/ family member etc.. there was concern of privacy though and that the site might turn into a bitching fest. of course, if there is genuine interest then we'll certainly reconcider making it open to the public to submit individual entries. aside from that i abmit that both sally and i are absolutely pathetic with technology of any kind. anyone who knows us will agree that it's amazing we got the blog this far.. fingers crossed! :P

An Interesting idea...
Assuming there's certain level honesty and a of transparency in the work, the "How you see me" concept kind satisfies a curiosity that exists between everyone in a any sort of relationship with another. I thought the "interactive" part of this whole project the work came before the actually creation of the work - the social interaction between Polly and Sally - rather than any interactivity after the online publishing of the art.
I would have liked to see the portraits in higher resolution and size though.
Revisiting this art work makes me cringe. Our sketches are pretty bad, and very inaccurate and I feel an over whelming sense of the work being unfinished. The only successful aspect of our intentions was our concept of communicating private thoughts on business cards on the night of the show. The formal aspect worked, but all our other contributions failed. Do we revisit this work and push it further, or leave it alone and just move on?
