There are those that believe that anything created by human hands is beautiful. I tend not to be so generous.
When you create representation art, without the use of clouds for hair, or figs for ears; upon completion you have taken yourself out of the loop. There is no need to call you back to explain your meaning, or weave your motives to those who would stand and listen. There is, in fact, much less chance for celebrity. Some, however, understand that if they can create some mystery, intrigue, or exclusivity surrounding either their process, or their reasoning for the use of figs, then they will still be needed. Those that are intrigued will continue to call on them to explain (or refuse to explain) themselves. If in the explanation even more ambiguity is created then all the better.
What a wonderful thing
